POLICE are hunting a man who attempted to abduct a nine-year-old girl as she was walking home from a friend's house in Dallam.
A motorist in a white car pulled up alongside the youngster between 7.50pm and 8.10pm, on Friday, on Boulting Avenue.
After the man stopped and shouted at the girl to get into the car, the frightened youngster ran the short distance home. She was left extremely distressed.
The man is black, aged in his 30's, with two gold teeth in his lower dentures. His vehicle is white with headlights that pop up from the bonnet.
Anyone with information should call DC Mark McManus on 01244 613837.
