Canton police are investigating a stranger danger incident involving a female student at a bus stop on Tuesday morning.

According to police, the female student was waiting for a bus near Ardsley and Burnham roads at about 7:20 a.m., when she noticed a vehicle pass by the bus stop and pass three separate times.

Police say the third time he stopped, he opened the door, put one foot on the road and said, "come here."

The student replied "no," and immediately began running away screaming. She then told police she heard the vehicle speed away. Police say she made it safely back to her house and told her mother.

An independent witness near the bus stop told police he heard a scream and a car speeding away.

The driver is described as a 25-year-old white male wearing a black hoodie, black pants, black hat and dark blue Nike shoes. He didn't have any facial hair and allegedly wore a black hat with a mask covering his eyes.

His vehicle is described as an older-model white 4-door car with rust on the bottom.

Anyone with information is asked to call Canton police at 734-394-5400. They will be increasing patrols in all neighborhoods and school zones.
