A spokesman for Suffolk police said a male approached a young girl, aged 10, and told her that her parents were calling her and that she was to go with him.
The girl managed to run away from the man.
The male has been described as white, 18 to 30 years old, with blonde curly hair, long enough to be tucked behind his ears.
He was wearing black trousers and red trainers or trainers with some red on them.
