Police are hunting a paedophile who indecently assaulted a six-year-old boy in a public toilet.
The man, described as having "goofy" front teeth, fled after the incident in Castle Park, Colchester, on Saturday.
The youngster's parents were waiting outside while he went to use the toilet at about 4pm, and dialled 999 as soon as he ran out and told them what had happened.
But police failed to trace the attacker, aged in his late 20s, who was seen heading in the direction of Colchester High Street.
The man is described as white, clean shaven, 5ft 11ins tall and of slim build.
As well as distinctive protruding teeth, he had bushy dark hair and was said to have spoken "slowly and deliberately".
Information to Colchester police on 01206 762212.
