Three Children Approached At Muswellbrook

YESTERDAY at approximately 12pm, three children aged eleven, eight and four were approached by a man near Hunt Place at Muswellbrook.

The children were playing at the northern end of a reserve when they saw a man walking towards them.

The girls started walking back to their homes when the man called out to them and pushed all three to the ground.

The male then attempted to touch the eight-year-old’s face, but she pushed him away and the girls ran from the reserve.

The man is described as being between 155cm to 165cm tall, in his early to mid-20s, with a dark complexion, medium build, black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone who may have information which could assist investigators is urged to contact Hunter Valley Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333.

Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report crime via NSW Police social media pages.
