A Child Being Assaulted By A Man As She Tried To Rescue A Kitten

Police are appealing to a dog walker or any other witnesses who may have seen a child being assaulted by a man as she tried to rescue a kitten from a Rhyl pond on the bank holiday weekend. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The incident happened during the late afternoon/evening of Friday 26th August at the pond behind the Adventure Playground off Gwynfryn Avenue in Rhyl. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

PC 2919 Ella Evans said: “Extensive enquiries have led us to believe that a female dog walker tried to assist the victim by rescuing the kitten however she was unsuccessful and the kitten subsequently died. The woman had two white Yorkshire Terrier type dogs with her at the time and is known to be a frequent walker in the area.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“We are eager to locate this female and speak with her or anyone else who may have witnessed this incident as the spot where it occurred is a popular location for dogs walkers, runners etc.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

A man has been arrested and bailed pending further inquiries in connection with the incident. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
