Nassau police said they are investigating an incident in which a 13-year-old girl was approached by a motorist who beckoned her into his vehicle as she walked along a Uniondale street on May 22.

The teen was walking along Jerusalem Avenue at about 3:25 p.m. when, police said, she was offered a ride by a man who was driving a light blue, four-door vehicle at the intersection with Patterson Avenue.

Police described the suspect as ranging in age from 30 to 32 years old, with brown eyes and a medium build, who was driving a Nissan Altima or Maxima with tinted windows.

Police also released a composite sketch of the suspect.
