Girl 'left shaken' by man's approach

Police are seeking a man who allegedly attempted to coax a young girl into a car in Outram yesterday.

Sergeant Kevin Davidson, of Mosgiel, said police responded to a report of a man approaching the girl about 3.40pm.

The man was driving along George King Memorial Dr towards Outram and stopped to ask the girl to get into his hatchback, police say.

She refused, rode off on her bike but was ''left shaken'' by the incident.

Police were concerned about the man's behaviour and wanted to identify him, Sgt Davidson said.

The man was described as aged in his 40s or 50s, balding with short hair, a beard and tattoos on his arms.

The hatchback was either green or blue.

Contact Dunedin police (03)471-4800, Crimestoppers 0800 555-111.
