UPDATE: Nashville Metro Police now say it was all a misunderstanding, in referring to a situation where at first authorities thought more was going on when a man allegedly approached a 2-year old near LaVergne. The incident unfolded when a 2-year-old child was playing in her yard in the 7800 block of Oakfield Grove.
Metro Police Released the following statement / update:
An apparent misunderstanding last Tuesday led two young siblings of a 2-year-old girl to believe that a man had attempted to take her from her yard in the 7800 block of Oakfield Grove.
The man, who was driving an older model green four-door sedan, has been identified and interviewed, as has the second man who was following him in a silver vehicle. They told detectives that they were returning from their lunch break to a nearby construction site where they both work. It appears that the 2-year-old was in close proximity to the roadway, which caused him to stop in anticipation that the child was going to run into the street.
