The man wanted in connection to several attempted abductions in Bloomfield Township has turned himself in, police tell 7 Action News.

According to police, the 49-year-old man from Pontiac turned himself in to police around 9:30 p.m. Friday.

The man was wanted in connection with three attempted abductions in the area on Thursday.

The first incident happened around 1:45 p.m. in the parking lot of the shopping center off Square Lake Road and Woodward Avenue.

The victim, a 20-year-old woman, was parking near Qdoba, when a man approached her car.  According to police, the man forced her door open and asked her if she wanted to make $100,000.  She refused and he became more aggressive and tried to pull her out of the car.

She fought him off and he appeared to leave.

The woman went into the Qdoba and talked with the management.

Police said the suspect came back, and approached another woman waiting in line inside the Qdoba.  He tried to lure her out of the store, but she refused. Cameras inside the Qdobda were rolling.

Police also received a third report from another female victim.

Police received multiple reports about this man loitering in the area and believe there could also be more potential victims.
