A brave primary schoolgirl on a scooter fought off a potential kidnapper who attempted to snatch her by grabbing her around the waist.
The girl was approached by the unknown man as she rode her push scooter on a path in Ashford, Kent, at 3.15pm on Thursday.
Police said he put his hands on her waist when she bent down to pick up her scooter, but the schoolgirl kicked out and managed to run away.
The man, who had emerged with another from Beaver Lane, is described as being in his mid-20s with brown or ginger hair swept to one side.
