A 12-year-old girl was waiting for a bus when a man watched on while acting indecently at Woodville Gardens sparking an appeal for public information.

The incident happened at bus stop 25A on Liberty Grove about 6.20am Monday, when a car stopped near the girl.

The victim looked at the driver, who was behaving in an indecent behaviour before he drove south on Liberty Grove.

A short time later, the car returned and the driver continued behaving indecently.

The dark grey four door sedan left heading south.

The driver, a sole occupant, is described as being caucasian, middle aged, with brown eyes, short curly orange hair and a beard.

It comes as an 11-year-old boy stomped on a man’s foot to flee after he was grabbed in a southern-suburbs carpark.

The incident happened just after 4.30pm on Tuesday near Wilfred Taylor Reserve on States Road at Morphett Vale.

A stranger approached the boy and grabbed him by the arm, before the boy retaliated and ran off towards the netball courts.

The suspect is being described as caucasian, 183cm tall, solid build, aged in his late 30s to 40s, with blonde brown hair, and a scruffy beard.

He was wearing a white T-shirt with a pocket and blue writing on the front and long black shorts.

Last week, police released a computer-generated image of a suspect involved in an attempted abduction at Glenelg Primary School earlier this month.

The incident happened at the Diagonal Road campus around 10am on August 9.

A student reported having a man approach her on the first floor of the main building near the stairway.

The man grabbed the girl by her wrist and pulled her down the stairs on to the middle landing.

She was able to break free and the man disappeared from view.

Investigations are continuing, and anyone with information on the incidents should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
