Police have released a sketch of one of two men they say harassed a 14-year-old girl after following her from a school bus stop in Lake Grove in November.
Suffolk County police are asking anyone who might recognize him -- or, know anything about the incident -- to call Crime Stoppers at 800-220-TIPS.
The incident occurred near the bus stop at Middle Country Road and Dietz Avenue on Thursday, Nov. 17, at 5 p.m., police said.
The two men were in a dark-colored four-door Toyota Camry and they yelled at the girl to get into the car, police said. She ran from the scene, police said, and hid behind a nearby home as the men circled, trying to find her.
The driver was described as being about 6-foot tall, 160 pounds and in his early 40s. The passenger, who is the man pictured in the sketch, was described as being in his late 30s, about 5-foot-8, 180 pounds with black hair and an accent.
Callers to Crime Stoppers are eligible for a cash reward of $5,000 for any information leading to an arrest.
