Cops are hunting a man wanted for sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl inside the child’s apartment building, authorities said.
The victim was walking home from the store Saturday afternoon when the man followed the girl into her apartment building near Broadway and Pettit Avenue in Elmhurst, according to cops.
The man tried to engage the girl in conversation before touching her groin over her pants, cops said. He then exposed himself to her before the girl fled into her apartment uninjured.
Police described the perp as a white male with a beard and glasses, approximately 30 years old between five-feet-ten and six-feet-tall. He is believed to be between 170 and 190 pounds.
Cops said he was last scene wearing a black sweatsuit, a black knit cap and pushing a black mountain bike.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
