Police
are hunting this suspected wannabe kidnapper, who chased a 9 year-old
girl and grabbed her hair after offering sweets at a bus stop.
At
around 4.45pm on Friday, November 2, last year the girl left school
and boarded a bus on Putney High Street.
Approximately
15 minutes later, she got off the bus at Dover Park Drive where she
noticed a man sitting at the stop.
He
started a conversation and tried to convince her to come home with
him, promising her sweets if she did so.
She
refused and ran away but was chased down the road by the man until
she reached her address.
As
she neared the building, the suspect grabbed her by the hair but she
managed to get inside and close the door behind her, stopping him
from entering.
He
is described as a tall black male, wearing dark clothing at the time
of the incident.
Detectives
from the Metropolitan Police's South West CID are
investigating and have released an image of a man they would like to
speak to in connection with the incident.
Detective
Constable Matt Morse, leading the investigation, said: “While
incidents like this are rare we are very keen to trace this man and
would urge anyone who can identify him to come forward.
“Anyone
with information should call 101 with CAD reference 5937/02NOV.”
