DETROIT (WWJ) -- Detroit police are asking for tips from the public as they search for a gunman who allegedly threatened three females at gas station on the city's west side.

The incident happened on Wednesday, Feb. 8, in the 10000 block of Fenkell, near Wyoming and the Lodge Freeway.

According to investigators, the suspect — described as a man 26 to 32 years old, with shoulder-length dreadlocks — approached the victims, ages 39, 19 and 15, and spoke to one of them.

After what police called "an exchange of words," investigators said the man became upset and walked away.
