A teenage girl has managed to escape an attempted abduction at Adamstown overnight.

The 17-year-old girl was walking to a house on Glebe Road at about 7.30pm on Sunday when a man in a dark grey Holden Commodore stopped next to her.

He spoke to her briefly before grabbing her arm and attempted to pull her into the car, but she broke free and ran to a nearby home.

The vehicle was last seen travelling east along Glebe Road.

The man has been described as being of Caucasian in appearance,
about 183cm tall, with a thin build, and wearing a light blue hooded jumper.

Inquiries into the matter are continuing and police are urging anyone with
information that could assist in the investigation to come forward.

Police would like to speak to anyone who may have been driving along Glebe
Road Street at the time of the incident.
