COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Stranger danger continues as police investigate after another Colorado Springs student claimed she was approached by a stranger while on her way to school.

Officers said on Monday the parent of a child at Sabin Middle School contacted authorities after his daughter said she was approached by a strange man.

The child had been walking to school in the area of Academy Boulevard and North Carefree Circle when a man walked up to her.

She claims he made a statement that made her concerned for her safety, but officers have not said what that statement was.

The suspect has been described as a Hispanic man about 30 to 40 years old.
