The terrifying incident happened near the Co-op in Rossett on Sunday afternoon. Police have launched an appeal to trace the man.

According to the mum, who did not wish to be named, she said: "My son was picking up groceries from the Co-op on Sunday afternoon and was just going to get his bicycle from the bike rack between the Co-op and the pharmacy, where he noticed a black van.

"A man wound down the window and said, 'get in the van, I will take you home'. I have told my son never to speak to strangers, so my son didn't speak to the man and started to cycle away along the path.
