A Sudanese asylum seeker, who was staying in a three-star government hotel, has been charged with attempting to kidnap 10-year-old girl in front of her father.
Edris Abdelrazig, 30, was arrested in Stockport, Greater Manchester after allegedly trying to lure the child away on July 13.
He had been living in a £100-a-night hotel which now houses migrants in Wilmslow, Cheshire, before the alleged incident.
Abdelrazig appeared in court on July 15 where prosecutors said he had travelled two miles south of the hotel to Walnut Tree Playing Field in Stockport.
It is claimed he then tried to abduct the girl, who was accompanied by her father, near the playing field before police came and arrested him.
