Girl, 11, grabbed by man and woman on way to school in ‘distressing’ attempted abduction

COPS have launched an urgent probe after an 11-year-old girl was grabbed by a man and woman in an attempted abduction.

The girl was approached by the pair on her way to school on Silver Street in Irlam, Manchester, at 8:30am yesterday.

The two “grabbed hold” of the youngster but she managed to run away before telling an adult what happened, said police.

Cops believe the man and woman had been driving in the area in a car and van but they have not specified who was driving which vehicle.
