Schoolgirl’s bag grabbed

Three young girls sought help from a member of the public after a man tried to grab one of their bags.

Sergeant Matt Lee, of Dunedin, said the girls — aged 6, 9 and 10 — were walking to school in Marlow St, St Kilda, on Thursday morning when a man walked past them.

He turned around and grabbed the 10-year-old by the front bag straps.

The 9-year-old girl reacted by grabbing the back of the bag, which stopped him from pulling the girl.

The man then ran off.

The girls approached a man who was leaving his house, who walked them to school and alerted the office about the event.
