A man in his 70s apparently mistook a 5-year-old girl for his granddaughter and was suspected of attempted luring on Long Island.

The man tried to pull the girl several times in his direction just before 11:30 a.m. Sunday outside St. Brigid's school in Westbury after Mass.

He is partially blind and believed to possibly have dementia, according his family.
