A second attempted kidnapping was reported on Eucalyptus Avenue and Heacock Street.
In both cases, the suspect fled after the girls threatened to call police.
The suspect was described as a heavy set male in his 40s with unshaven and short, dark hair. The man was last seen wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to call Riverside County Sheriff's Department at (951) 486-6700.
