The young man approached a pair of girls and inappropriately touched one of them at about 4pm.

He then approached a group of older boys before leaving the scene.

A passerby spotted the man with the knife and called police but he left the scene before officers arrived.

Anyone who uses the park has been advised to walk in groups.

A 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of assault in connection with the incident.
