Easttown Police Monday released a sketch of a man involved in a possible child luring that took place Friday afternoon in Berwyn.

Two 10-year-old girls told police they were walking home from a school bus stop along Bartholomew Road around 3:45 p.m. when a Jeep pulled up next to them, according to a police press release. A man seated in the passenger seat rolled the window down a quarter of the way and said, "Hi," and one of the girls responded, "Hi." The man then asked, "Hey, you want a ride?"

Both girls screamed and fled to a neighbor's house, according to police.
