Chilling CCTV captures moment man attempted to lead toddler away from his mother while her back was momentarily turned in shopping centre
In shocking CCTV footage, the young family can be seen walking through the shopping centre in Derby, East Midlands. At one point (far left), the unnamed mother walks very slightly ahead of her child - and seconds later a man wearing a dark jacket and a cap appears. He then approaches the 22-month-old (second left) as the child follows his mother into a store. The man then appears to try and persuade the child to walk off with him (second right). But the unnamed mother turns around (right) and challenges the man, who then seems to apologise and walk off. Police are now appealing for witnesses to this shocking incident - which took place on Thursday morning.
