RCMP across the province are on the look out for a man that apparently tried to abduct a 12 year old child Saturday evening.

The child was riding a scooter along a grid road near Liberty when a man stopped and offered a ride. The child declined but police say the man then grabbed the scooter and attempted to put the child in a truck.

Police say the child managed to escape to town as the truck sped off towards Last Mountain Lake.

The man is described as about 5-10, caucasion, very short hair, pimpled complection, a scar under his chin, with reduced mobility in his left arm.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police.
