MAYFAIR — Police are looking for a man they said fondled a 6-year-old girl at the Village Discount Outlet Store, 4635 N. Elston Ave.

Police said the girl screamed when the man walked up to her and touched her genitals. The girl's father then chased the man, who ran out of the store, across Elston and south on Kildare Avenue, police said. The man escaped through a back alley on Elston, police said.

Police said the suspect is a clean-shaven white or white/Hispanic man between 30 and 40 years old, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8 inches tall and weighs 165 to 180 pounds. He has short, dark hair and was wearing a black-and-red hat, possibly with a Chicago Blackhawks or Cleveland Indians logo, and a gray zippered hoodie.
