A man tried to grab the arm of an eight-year-old girl in Milton Keynes on Monday.
Thames Valley Police are appealing for information after the incident in Oxley Park between 6pm and 6.30pm.

The man was described as white with a tan and in his late thirties or early forties.
He had brown, collar-length wavy hair with blond highlights and an earring in his right ear.
He was wearing a light-blue Lacoste top with two buttons, light black jeans and a grey watch.
