Police are investigating a possible attempted abduction reported Thursday near Rowayton Elementary School on Roton Avenue in Norwalk.
Police say they are not sure whether this incident is truly a suspicious one. They say it could have been a misunderstanding by the child, but officials are still treating it as a serious situation.
Authorities say a young boy was walking along Wilson Avenue Thursday morning when he reports a dark blue van with a loud muffler stopped.
The child describes the driver as a male in his 50s with a beard, who waved at him and may have tried to offer candy.
Police say the child fled the scene and later reported the incident.
