Deputies say a man approached a girl at a bus stop in Brandon and asked her for sex.

The incident happened April 6 at 6 a.m. at the bus stop located at the corner of Lakewood Drive and Brandon Trace Avenue.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the girl's parents reported the incident nearly a week after it occurred. They said the suspect approached the girl at her bus stop and asked her several times if she wanted to have sex.

Deputies said the man continued to get closer to the girl, but then backed away as the school bus arrived. The man then rode away from the bus stop on a bicycle.

Detectives are urging parents to notify law enforcement immediately if their children are approached by strangers.

The suspect is described as a black man between the ages of 22 and 29. He is 6' and weighs 190 pounds with a stocky build. He has long dreads to the center of his back and was last seen wearing what appeared to be a fast food restaurant uniform.
