Mounties are trying to track down a man who allegedly grabbed a little girl on the arm near a Richmond, B.C. elementary school Wednesday morning.
The 10-year-old said she was running a lap on the field near Whiteside Elementary School when a man in his 40s or 50s reached out and grabbed her around 11:30 a.m.
"Though the student advised our investigator that she did not feel threatened, the incident is considered unusual and the motive is unclear," Cpl. Dennis Hwang said in a news release.
"Police would very much like to locate this individual and speak with him."
The man is described as Asian, 5-7 to 5-10 tall, with a medium build, black hair and a clean shaven face. He was wearing brown pants and a black and blue sweater.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Richmond RCMP detachment at 604-278-1212.
