The man ran to a dark-colored four-door Acura and fled westbound on Second Street, according to police.

Authorities described the suspect as a Hispanic or Indian man, approximately 20 to 25 years old and 5-foot-8 to 6 feet tall and between 170 and 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing light-colored shorts and a light-colored shirt.
