A dramatic account of a kidnapping attempt involving an 11-year-old boy who supposedly fought off his assailant in Azusa earlier this week was not true, police said Wednesday.

“Due to the age of the child involved and the sensitivity of the investigation, no additional information may be released,” police said in the statement.
