About 8.20am on Thursday, a 14-year-old girl saw a man on his hands and knees and appearing to be in trouble as she was walking to school across the Anzac Park sporting fields, on Winter Street. 

The girl walked over to the man to check his welfare and as she spoke to him he allegedly grabbed her wrist and attempted to pull her towards bushland on the outskirts of the oval. 

The girl managed to free herself and ran to her nearby school and reported the matter to her principal. 

Fortunately she was not hurt.
