The frightening incident happened about 5.25pm on Friday near the Point Walter Jetty on Honour Ave in Bicton.
A group of three people made a “suspicious approach” towards a young child.
Luckily, two teenage girls saw the incident and alerted the father of the child — who then intervened.
Two men and a woman are involved and are believed to be of possible Asian descent.
