Investigations are continuing into three children who were approached by a man in Georgetown on Saturday.
At about 6:15pm two girls aged 16 and 14 and a 13-year-old boy were riding their bikes along Christo Road when they noticed a man walking.
The man stopped and spoke to the girls who kept riding, and then a short time later when one of the children stopped to tie their shoelace the man ran towards her.
She rode away and the man was last seen walking north along Cowper Street.
The man is described as being in his 20's, of Caucasian appearance, approximately 180cm tall, clean shaven and was reported to have been wearing dark pants and a blue hooded jacket.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Newcastle Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
