In the first incident, he allegedly tried to pull the girl into a blue SUV near Radcliffe Drive and Old Stone Road. A bystander saw the girl trying to get away, and yelled, and the suspect got back in the SUV and fled the scene.
Two days later, Green allegedly followed a girl into an apartment building on Wood Creek Drive and grabbed her. She fought him off and ran into a nearby park.
Police said both girls picked Green out of a lineup.
Green was charged with unlawful restraint, attempted kidnapping, battery, and aggravated battery.
He was being held at the Will County Jail on $500,000 bond.
