Police are hunting a man who attempted to snatch a toddler in Melbourne's outer-west yesterday.
A 32-year-old woman was riding her bike along Weeks Avenue in Harkness with her two-year-old daughter and son about 9.20am.
The toddler fell behind and when the mother turned around to check on her, she saw a man had grabbed her daughter by the wrist and was pulling her bike in the opposite direction.
The woman immediately rode towards her daughter and the offender released the child and fled the scene.
The little girl was not injured in the incident.
"The offender is perceived to be African in appearance, aged in his early 20s and was not wearing a mask," a Victoria Police spokesperson said.
"At the time of the incident he was wearing dark clothing and a white baseball cap."
Melton Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating and urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
