Man arrested in alleged teen abduction attempt at Akron bus stop

Scary scene in Akron as a teen abduction nearly took place. A 29-year-old man has been arrested on allegations he tried abducting a 16-year-old girl from a Metro bus stop in Akron within the area of South Arlington Street and Neville Avenue. Akron police say it happened around 6:24 a.m. Friday when the suspect – identified as Da Aron Jackson – allegedly parked his vehicle and approached the girl who was on her way to school. “Jackson reportedly walked back and forth near the victim and initiated random conversation with her in what investigators believe was an attempt to distract her,” police said in a press release Monday morning. “Seconds later, Jackson forcibly grabbed the victim from behind and attempted to drag her in the direction of his car that was staged around the corner.” Police say the girl was able to “fend off” Jackson by holding onto a fence, which helped her break free from his grasp. “Jackson managed to take the victim’s cell phone during the encounter, but later tossed it back to her before getting back into his car and driving away,” police noted.
