“The man continued to follow the boy along Plovers Way, Uplands Road North and Grove Road.
“The boy, who felt distressed, then walked towards Spinney Gardens and the man didn’t continue to follow him.
“The man also didn’t attempt to speak to the boy.”
The man is described as being in his 30s, with short brown hair and stubble. At the time of the incident, he was wearing all black and was riding a black mountain bike.
