An 11-year-old girl allegedly escaped the clutches of a possible kidnapper in the Logan Heights area Saturday morning, according to San Diego police.

The San Diego Police Department said a parent called authorities around 10:45 a.m. to report that an unknown man had tried to grab her daughter in the 2900-block of Franklin Ave.
