New video footage has been released by police investigating an alleged incident where a young schoolgirl was grabbed by a man in Angmering last week. The child contacted 999 after she reportedly ran away from a man who grabbed her arm in Bramley Way just after 8am. Officers arrived at St Margaret's Church of England primary school in Arundel Road a short time later. A 29-year-old man arrested on Friday (January, 24) on suspicion of attempted abduction, was released under investigation. The young man police want to speak to can be seen running in Bramley Way towards Roundstone Lane just before 8am that morning. DS Simon Smith said: "We are continuing active enquiries into this isolated incident and are currently keeping an open mind as to the motives of the man involved. "It is important that we trace the man in the video and either establish his involvement or eliminate him from the investigation completely. "We have had extra patrols in the area and if anyone has any other concerns, please speak to our officers." Anyone with information is asked to contact 101, quoting serial 253 of 24/01.
