PARENTS and children are being warned after a man tried to force a 14-year-old boy to get into his car.

The boy was walking along The Boulevard in Great Sutton at 5.40pm on Wednesday when he was grabbed by a man he had spotted speaking on a mobile phone in a white Vauxhall car.

He struck the man in the face and managed to break free before running home.

The man is described as white, in his 20s, 5ft 10in to 6ft tall and of skinny build.

He wore a black hooded top with a picture of a heart with a nail through it and dripping blood, which is believed to have had Slipknot or something similar written in yellow and black.

The man also wore black gloves and may have suffered bruising as a result of being struck.

His car had black fluffy dice with white spots hanging from the interior mirror. nCall Det Cons Clare Fletcher on 01244 613134 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
