Police seek man over stalking a teenager

Police are on the hunt for a man who tried to coerce a teenage girl to get into his car and stalked her when she wouldn't.

The 16-year-old Reservoir girl was walking along McColl Street in Reservoir about 4.20pm on January 18 when a man in a white Mercedes pulled up beside her.

He asked her to come into his car, and when she refused, he got out of the vehicle three times and continued to harass her.

The teenager ran to her friend's house for shelter and the man drove off along Donald Street.

Victoria Police have released a computer-generated image of the man they believe may be responsible.
