The girl suffered a slight injury to her neck after being grabbed by a man who is described as white and middle-aged, of large build and with a slight beard or stubble. He was wearing a grey top.
She ran off and the man did not follow her.
PC Tom Bowen said; “The reason for this isolated incident is not clear, but there is nothing to suggest there was a sexual or other sinister motive.”
