Honolulu police and CrimeStoppers have released the sketch of a male suspect wanted for the attempted kidnapping of a teen in Hawaii Kai over the weekend.

The victim was able to escape and contact his parents, according to the HPD report.

The suspect is described as a man in his 50s, with short, gray hair, a dark complexion and heavy build. He was wearing a navy blue T-shirt at the time of the incident and driving a black SUV.
