Police appeal after teenager grabbed in street

A teenage girl has been grabbed by a man in a Surrey street, just weeks after two reports of a person approaching girls and asking them inappropriate questions, police say.

The most recent incident happened in Hersham Road, Walton, at about 11:00 BST on 22 April and involved a man trying to forcibly make a girl go with him, although she was able to get away safely, Surrey Police said.

The force says at this time they do not believe the incidents in the Walton area to be related.

"We appreciate this may cause concern to the local community, but please be reassured that we are conducting a thorough investigation," it added.

The suspect is described as a white man in his 40s who is about 5' 9" tall and has blonde hair.

Anyone with information which could help police is asked to contact the force.
