A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “We are aware that imagery relating to this incident may have been shared on social media networks in an attempt to alert other parents. “Detectives are following several active lines of enquiry including examining CCTV, to identify and speak with the man involved.” Police have increased patrols around school pick-up and drop-off times around the Spitalfields and Bethnal Green areas, close to where the attempted abduction is said to have taken place.
