A man's been arrested after a suspicious approach to two children at an Antrim playground.

It's believed to have happened in Bush Park at around a 7:15 on Saturday night.

A man described as around 5'8", with short dark hair and wearing black tracksuit bottoms and a black jumper, asked two kids to perform a lewd act.

The girl and boy ran back to the adult who was with them at the time, before the man was seen walking away in the direction of the Round Tower.

Police last night detained a 25-year-old man on suspicion of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity.
