Police arrest man after ‘abduction’ attempt of 10-year-old girl in Glasgow
Police have arrested a man who allegedly tried to ‘abduct’ a 10-year-old girl as she played in her garden in the east end of Glasgow.
Cops said they received a call on Thursday evening after a man was acting suspiciously towards a young girl in a garden in the Carntyne area.
When the alarm was raised, the man allegedly fled the area.
However, a spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: “At about 7pm last night, police received a report of a man acting suspiciously towards a child playing in a garden of a house in Carntyne Road.
“Police attended and a 40-year-old man was traced nearby a short time later.
“He has been reported to the procurator fiscal in connection with the incident.”
