Police are investigating reports of an assault in the Warwick Way area.
Police were patrolling the area of Warwick Way in Loughborough on Saturday 2nd December following a report of an assault on a child.
At 6.55pm on Friday (1st), a woman and her five-year-old child were walking on the footpath between Warwick Way and Braddon Close when a man approached them, and pulled the boy around 10ft away from his mother.
The boy is safe and well, but both are understandably shaken by the incident.
The man was white and between 40 and 50 years old. He was 6ft tall and muscular, with shoulder length mousy brown hair which is scraggly and scruffy. He was wearing a zipped grey hoody, zipped half way and was bare chested underneath, with dirty light blue jeans and scruffy white Reebok trainers.
Detectives are working to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the report and would like to speak to anyone who may have seen a man matching the description in the area throughout the evening.
