A police hunt is underway in Melbourne for a man who grabbed a 2-year-old girl on Wednesday morning while biking with her mum and brother.
Victoria police say the incident happened in the suburb of Harkness about 9:20am (local time).
"A 32-year-old woman was riding her bike along Weeks Ave with her daughter and son," a Victoria police spokeswoman said.
"The toddler fell behind and when her mother turned around to check on her, she saw a man has grabbed her daughter by the wrist and was pulling her bike in the opposite direction."
Police said the man, who was unknown to the child, let go of her when the mother turned around and quickly rode towards them. He then fled the scene on foot.
The child was not injured and local detectives are investigating the terrifying incident.
