Creep grabs teenage girl outside shopping centre

Police are hunting for a man who tried to grab a teenage girl outside a shopping centre in Adelaide.

The 15-year-old girl was at the Arndale Shopping Centre bus interchange at 9pm last Saturday when she was approached by the man, who was driving a white SUV.

She refused to speak with him, so he then parked the car, walked up to her and tried to grab her, police say.

The teenager managed to escape his clutches and ran away.

Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

The man had a dark complexion, was about 170cm tall with a medium build and was wearing a dark blue baseball cap, cops said.
