A 17-year-old girl took a picture of a man believed to be targeting children in a Pembroke Pines neighborhood.
Sandra Sanchez said her daughter almost became a victim of a suspected serial creeper.
Sanchez said her daughter was walking home from school Tuesday when she saw a silver car parked in the 10900 block of Northwest 15th Street.
Authorities say that as the girl passed the car, the man got out and began following her.
The teen called her father, who was just feet away at their house. Moments before her father got outside, though, the suspect said something to her.
"Finally, he told her, 'If you don't turn around within the next three seconds, I will pull out my gun,'" Sanchez said.
Her father came out of the house, and the man ran back toward his car, according to authorities.
But the quick-thinking daughter pulled out her cellphone and was able to snap a picture of the man as he ran away from her.
Police believe he is the same man who tried to lure a boy and two girls into his car in September.
Police have released a sketch of the man in the hopes that someone can identify him.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Pembroke Pines Police Department at 954-431-2200 or Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
