An elementary school student was approached by a man driving a white box truck after being dropped off at the bus stop near Ridge Road and Devonshire Court around 2:45 p.m.

Police said the student ran home and is safe. 

The suspect, who police said had a long black beard, was driving a truck with rust near the windows.
