A man tried to grab a girl off the street as she walked home from school, police have said.
The attempted abduction happened at the junction of Manor Avenue and Firs Road in Sale at about 16:30 GMT on Thursday.
Greater Manchester Police said the girl was able to break free from the offender and run away.
The man made off in a large white van with a sliding door and signage on the side and drove down Manor Avenue in the direction of Coppice Avenue.
No arrests have been made.
Det Insp Helen Bagnall said it was an "incredibly concerning and terrifying ordeal" for the girl.
She said the force was releasing an e-fit image of a man they wanted to speak to and asked anyone who recognised him "to get in touch as a matter of urgency".
Police are also keen to speak to a couple who intervened and helped the girl following the incident.
