Police are asking for the public's help identifying a person of interest in an "inappropriate encounter" with a boy at a Frisco mall.

The boy was in a restroom at the AMC theater at Stonebriar Centre, in the 2600 block of Preston Road, around noon Nov. 19 when a man "attempted to initiate an inappropriate encounter" with him, police said.

Police released a picture Friday of a person of interest in the case. No further details were released because of the boy's age and the nature of the incident.

Anyone with information about the man or the incident is asked to call Detective Wade Hornsby at 972-292-6209 or text "FRISCOPD" and the tip to 847411.
