LEWISDALE, Md. (WJZ) -- Prince George's County Police are searching for a man who inappropriately touched a 4-year-old girl in the Lewisdale area last Saturday.

The child agreed and once in the laundry room, the man allegedly touched her buttocks. Another child interrupted the incident and the girl ran from the laundry room.

The child's mother had briefly lost sight of her daughter when the man lured the child away.
