Police in Derry were tonight hunting a man who indecently assaulted a three-year-old girl by luring her into bushes just yards from her home.
The man, aged around 25, tried to entice the child with money during the incident close to a play park last night.
As detectives combed the Ballymagroarty area of the city, the youngster's parents took her to be interviewed by police via videolink in a bid to glean more information.
Mr Billy Page, a Derry City councillor who spoke with the family, said: "This was only a couple of feet from their front door."
