Wednesday's incident was the second time this week that a man approached them while they were on their way to school at Noble Elementary.
The girls, ages 13, 12, 6 and 5, weren't harmed, but reported that the man asked them questions.
The sister of one of the girls told Local 4 the girls ignored the man and ran away.
"My two nieces and my little sister were terrified for the life today," the sister said. "What if he had a gun? What if he had a knife? What if he grab one of us."
Police said they are investigating and described the man as 5 feet 10 inches tall, heavy-set with dark skin and between 35 and 45 years old. He was wearing a burgundy sweater.
