REAL HOUSEWIVES of Sydney star Lisa Oldfield said a man “grabbed” one of her children while he was riding his scooter.
The outspoken former TV presenter and wife of former One Nation politician David Oldfield said the incident happened on the northern beaches where the family lives.
Oldfield, who is one of the women featured in new TV show Real Housewives of Sydney, which starts next month, posted on Facebook about the incident on South Steyne in Manly on Wednesday.
Police confirmed they are investigating the incident including looking at CCTV.
Lisa said the man approached son Bert, four, while he was riding his scooter.
She said the man “started shaking” her son, and “tried to take him away,” before her and her male friend, Dave Hinshaw “intervened.”
Lisa told the Manly Daily Bert was riding on a spot where scooters are allowed, but the man was telling him he shouldn’t be riding there.
She said: “We took Bert and my friend Dave, who is here from the States, and my nanny down to Manly to go for a scoot down South Steyne and Fairy Bower.
“They were steaming ahead, then this guy randomly grabbed Bert and started shaking him.
“I ran and said ‘you can’t touch my child.’ He said ‘he shouldn’t be on his scooter.”
“He started shouting ‘you f****** stupid mother. He was right in my face.’
“My friend Dave got in between us.
“It was very bizarre. The fact it was so brazen and it was very odd. You are allowed to scoot there anyway.
“Bert is fine. I’m still shaken up.”
Lisa posted about the incident on her personal Facebook page.
She said: “Absolutely terrifying experience today at Manly. Bertie (4) was riding his scooter a hundred metres in front of us.
“He was grabbed by a 20-something man who started shaking him and trying to take him away. “Dave and I confronted him and he ran away.
“Now at police station making a statement. Bert totally nonplussed, Dave and I still shaking: “Please people, keep a vigilant eye on your little ones.”
Police confirmed they’re keen to speak to witnesses to the incident which happened around 1pm on Wednesday.
The man is described as of Asian appearance, 170-172cm tall and with messy black hair.
He was wearing a black top, with shorts and sandals.
The couple also has another son Harry, six.
Oldfield is a businesswoman but once had a Channel 9 chat show called The Catch-Up.
