Tulsa police are on the hunt for a man who tried to kidnap a nine-year old boy using pepper spray.

Authorities say the incident occurred near 21st street and 129th east avenue.

The little boy was playing outside when he says a man demanded that he get in his van, according to reports.

When the child did not obey the suspect, his attacker sprayed him with pepper spray in the face.

However, the nine year old managed to fight him off.

The boy describes his attacker as a short bald-head black man.

He says he was wearing a black shirt and green pants and had a scar on his left arm.

The child also believes the suspect had a fake tattoo of a skull on his forehead.

Police say the suspect drove away in a black mini-van.

Anyone with information about the attack should call Crime Stoppers at (918) 596-COPS.
