AN investigation has been launched after a man allegedly attempted to abduct a child on a train.
The incident took place at around 7.30pm on August 17, when a mother carrying her baby was preparing to leave the service at Worksop.
A stranger is then said to have grabbed the baby from the mother’s arms and took off down the carriage with her.
Fortunately, a relative managed to get the baby back, but the man in question left the service at Barnsley Interchange.
A spokesperson for British Transport Police said: “Officers believe the man in the image may have information that could help their investigation.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016, or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference number 228 of August 18.
“Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
