A man is accused of trying to kidnap a 10-year-old girl Friday in Rockwall, police say.
Brian Douglas Calder, 21, was booked into the Rockwall County jail on Friday and faces an attempted kidnapping charge, according to online jail records.
Officers responded about 12:30 p.m. to a 911 call reporting that a man had tried to abduct the girl in the 1000 block of West Yellow Jacket Lane, near South Goliad Street.
The student had just gotten off the bus and was walking home when several witnesses saw a man grab the girl by her backpack. She was able to escape, police said.
A witness followed the man while police were called. Officers who responded then found and detained Calder.
