“She describes the man, who was with two other men in the car, as white, skinny and scruffy, aged about 20 and with dark short hair and stubble.

“This is a very busy road especially at 5pm when she said this happened. We are looking into the circumstances and at this time are keen to find anyone who witnessed the incident.

“If anyone saw a silver car, she describes as a Skoda, stop and someone talk to young girl before rejoining the traffic we would like them to contact police by calling 101 and quoting serial 1183 of 20/6.”
