(Memphis) A man Memphis Police want to speak with regarding the attempted kidnapping of a 71-year-old woman has turned himself in.

The man’s name has not been released and no charges have been filed.

The woman was putting items in her car at the Mendenhall Commons Shopping Center Tuesday afternoon when she says a man asked for a ride to Nashville.
