Police are searching for two men accused of trying to abduct a teen girl at the Willow Grove Park Mall in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday.
The incident occurred around 7 p.m. at the mall, located on 2500 Moreland Road. The 14-year-old girl told police she was descending an escalator from the second level to the first level when she was met at the bottom by a man who identified himself as “Alex.” The man asked the girl to walk with him and extended his arm, as if escorting her, investigators said.
