Police – NBC 7 San Diego

Emergency dispatch in Coronado received a call Friday from a high school-aged girl who said a man had tried to kidnap her.

The report came around 1:30 p.m. from the 16-year-old, who said she was waiting for a bus near Library Park in the city center when a man parked and walked up to her, then asked her to get in his car.

When the teen refused, she told police, he grabbed her arm, but she broke free, ran to safety and called 911.

The responsive girl was able to give police both a description of the car and its license plate, and responding officers found it a short time later about a block away, police said.

Taken into custody was Nan Wang, 45, a native of Trona, California, which is in central California northeast of Bakersfield.

Wang was charged with attempted kidnapping and molestation/harassment of a child. He is being held on $100,000 bail.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Coronado police at (619) 522-7350.
