Line of Duty actor’s appeal after attempted abduction of son, 11, as police admit initial response was ‘insufficient’ Leah Sinclair
Police have launched an appeal after an 11-year-old boy’s mother said he was almost abducted in south-east London on Friday, while admitting their initial response to the incident was “not sufficient”.
The young boy was walking home from school in Beckenham when two men on foot, and another in a car, attempted to abduct him, Sherise Blackman, a Line of Duty actor, said.
Ms Blackman, who played cop Ruby Jones in the smash-hit BBC series, said the two men chased her son into a local park but he ran to a basketball court and was helped by two teenagers who protected him.
