15-Year-Old Escapes After Attack On Way To School

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A 15-year-old girl is shaken up after she was attacked while walking to school around 8:15 Wednesday morning.

Chicago Police say Iyanna Franklin was walking in the 1200 block of West 87th Street when a man got out of his car, grabbed her, and forced her into his car.

Iyanna was able to escape after her attacker collided with a pole.

Police have not released a description of the suspect at this time.

"She's very distraught about it," said Debbie McPherson, Iyanna's mother. "She don't even want to talk right now. Probably down the line, she'll probably need counseling because this is detrimental to her."

This is a developing story.
