Around 10 a.m. on Sunday, a woman was biking with her young daughter in Wayne's Odorisio Park when she confronted an unknown man for staring. When confronted, the man entered a white Jeep Cherokee and fastened his seatbelt as if he were about to leave. He instead stayed in his car and continued to stare at the young girl. Radnor police are investigating the incident.
On Thursday, Sept. 26, an 8-year-old girl was returning home from Cardinal John Foley School in Haverford Township when she was allegedly approached by a man at Overbrook Terrace and West Hathaway Lane.
