Man tried to abduct teenage girl

Police are appealing for witness to the attempted abduction

Police are hunting a man who attempted to abduct a teenage girl as she walked home in Glasgow.

The 13-year-old girl was approached at about 1830 GMT on Friday in the Govan area of Glasgow.

A man in a small, dark coloured car rolled down the window and grabbed her arm as she walked on Summertown Road.

The teenager managed to break free and ran to safety. She was unhurt but Strathclyde Police said she was left badly shaken by the ordeal.

Det Sgt David Wagstaff said: "This has been a particularly stressful ordeal for the young girl.

"I would like to appeal to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or noticed anything or anyone suspicious yesterday evening in and around the Summertown Road area to come forward."

The suspect was described as being Afro-Caribbean, in his 30s, with a shaved head. He was wearing dark clothing.
