Girl Grabbed By A Man In Lancaster

Police in Lancaster are investigating after a girl was grabbed by a man.

 

It happened at around 3pm yesterday as the 12 year old walked along the pathway at the back of Lancaster Priory.

 

She was heading towards Longmarsh Lane when she was approached by an unknown man walking in the opposite direction.

 

The man grabbed the girl by the arm and tried to pull her from the pathway she was walking on.

 

The girl managed to free herself and run away.

 

The man is described as being white with a pale complexion. He is said to be in his early 30s and around 6ft tall with skinny arms, hairy hands and big hips. He was wearing glasses with a silver rim and small circular lenses, a black hoody with the hood up and a silver zip with either jogging bottoms or jeans.

 

DS Paul Richardson of Lancaster Police, said: “The girl didn’t suffer any physical harm, however it has understandably left her scared and upset. We have a number of detectives working on this investigation.

“If you recognise the description or you have any information about this incident at all, please call us as soon as you can.”
