Sullivan County authorities say that Friday night a 9 year old girl and her friend were the target of an attempted abduction.

The two girls were on their way home from another friend's house near the 1100 block of North State Street when a man got out of the car and asked the young girls to help him fix his vehicle.

The girls ran and apparently the man followed them for a while.

The suspect is described as a white male, with white hair and a white mustache. He was wearing a dark shirt and blue jeans.

The car is described as an 80's Mercury Cougar that is white with black stripes and several hangers in the back, with a plaid shirt on one of them.

If you know anything call police.
