Sarasota Police are looking for a man they said attempted to kidnap a woman as she walked along the beach Sunday night. Police described the suspect as around 6 feet tall, athletic build, with tight, curly hair. Police said the victim told them he has an accent and was wearing all-black clothing when the attempt happened. A press release from Sarasota Police stated the 51-year-old woman told officers she parked a rental car at 400 Ben Franklin Drive. The release says she started walking north on the beach while on the phone with a friend. As the woman turned around, she passed a man. She said the man put a towel over her head from behind.
