According to a police press release, the boy was playing in the parking lot of the Knights of Columbus building, 850 Stratford Drive while his mother was attending a meeting inside when a man approached him and tried to lure him away.

According to a police description, the man has a pronounced stomach, brown hair and glasses and speaks slowly with a drawl. He was wearing blue jeans and a tucked-in blue shirt at the time of the incident. Police are asking anyone with information to contact police at 814-234-7150.

E. coli outbreaks under investigation

HARRISBURG (AP) -- The state Health Department is investigating an E. coli outbreak that sickened four people in suburban Philadelphia to determine whether it is linked to an outbreak in New York and New Jersey, a department spokesman said yesterday.

Two of the four people who fell ill in Montgomery County at the end of November were hospitalized, but both have since been released, health department spokesman Troy Thompson said.

The department has not identified the source of the E. coli contamination, but three of the four people confirmed that they ate at a Montgomery County Taco Bell restaurant, Thompson said.
