WINNIPEG The Winnipeg Police Service is investigating what it is calling a suspicious incident in North Kildonan. On Wednesday around 3:40 p.m., a girl in her early teens was walking home from school in the area of Concordia Avenue and Molson Street. Police said she noticed a man in a used, grey-coloured truck drive by and wave, before making a U-turn and asking if she wanted a ride home. When the girl declined, police said the driver got out of the truck, approached her, and grabbed her wrist. At that point, other students in the immediate area verbally intervened and the driver got back in his truck and drove away.
