The girl told investigators she was walking on Aiki Street at 7 a.m. when a man in a white Ford van offered her a ride. He then attempted to pull her into the vehicle.
The girl was able to break free and run to a friend's house.
The abductor was described as about 5-feet-8, 130 to 150 pounds, and was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans covered with dirt.
It was the second reported attempted kidnapping of a girl in four weeks.
On Sept. 17, a man tried to force a girl into an isolated area on Anania Drive in Mililani at 7 a.m.
Police have made no arrests.
