A MANHUNT has been launched following the attempted abduction of a young boy at the weekend.
The 12-year-old was walking to a friend's house at 5.30pm on Saturday (Dec 6) when a man jumped out of an alleyway in Bull Hill Crescent, Radcliffe, and grabbed him.
The child struggled and broke free as the man tried to drag him towards a car, believed to be a gold Peugeot. The boy ran towards Stand Rise as the man chased him and managed to lose his pursuer in Ringley Road West.
The wanted man is described as white, 6ft, with a mole on his right cheek. He was wearing a red top, green jeans, black gloves and black Rockport boots.
Anyone who may have seen the man can contact CID at Bury on 0161 856 8150 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
