Fort Wayne, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - The Fort Wayne Police Department is still investigating a report of a child abduction at the intersection of Boone St. And Osage just before 6 p.m. Thursday evening.

A nine-year-old girl says she was riding her bike when a man in a blue van grabbed her by the arm and forced her into the vehicle. She says he drove to the 3800 block of Wenonah Drive where he let her go.

She appeared to be unharmed.

The suspect is described as a white male, 20-to-30 years of age with blonde or light brown hair in a buzz cut, clean-shaven and a muscular build. She reported he had tattoos of a heart and vines and a skull with the word "love" written under it.

The incident is under investigation by the Fort Wayne Police Department and anyone who knows anything about it is urged to call 427-1222.
