The incident allegedly took place on Thursday near Valley Center Avenue, just south of Cypress Street at around 4 p.m., according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.

Authorities described the suspect as a Black male adult who was driving a dark blue, two-door sedan.

San Dimas detectives are investigating the incident while deputies are monitoring and providing safety checks in the area.
