STARTUP, Wash. -- A man followed a 10-year-old girl who was waiting at a bus stop in the Startup area of Snohomish County Tuesday morning.

The victim, Cora, said she was walking to her bus stop at about 8 a.m. near the 14200 block of 367th Avenue Southeast when she saw the man nearby.

“I looked at him and he was like staring at me, so I backed up in the grass,” Cora said.

She said he starting chasing her, so she ran to a neighbor’s home.

"I was freaked out and I started to cry and I ran up to my neighbor Marcy's door and I opened the door like a little bit," she said.

She said the man followed her and partially came down the neighbor's driveway before he ran off.

“I was thinking that I was going to get kidnapped and I wouldn’t be able to see my parents anymore,” Cora said.

The girl returned home and told her father about the incident. The girl's father then went outside to look for the man. He saw a man he didn't recognize get into a truck and then drive off, police said.

The father later called 911 to report the incident.

Deputies searched the area but were unable to find the man.

Cora described the man as white, bald with hair around his ears, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and in his mid 20s. She said he was wearing ripped blue jeans and a dark blue T-shirt.

“The most notable thing about him was his bushy eyebrows," Cora said.

The girl's father described the truck he saw as possibly a 1970s to '80s, faded green Datsun.

It is not known if the man in the truck is the same person who chased the girl.

The sheriff's department provided a sketch of the man Tuesday afternoon.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the sheriff’s department tip line at 425-388-3845.
