Maine State Police are looking for a man they say grabbed a 13-year-old girl as she got off a bus and tried to take her behind a building in Parsonsfield.
The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. Monday afternoon around 4:30 p.m. at the Stanley building in the Kezar Falls village section of Parsonsfield, state police said Friday morning.
