Glasgow Man In Court Over Alleged Child Abduction

A Glasgow man has appeared in court after a six year-old girl was allegedly abducted.

David Johnston was held after an incident in Glasgow's Barrowfield last Friday evening.

The 32 year-old yesterday faced a charge of abduction with intent to commit a breach of the Sexual Offences Act.

Johnston is also accused of assault to injury.

He made no plea or declaration during a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

Johnston was remanded in custody and is expected to return to the dock next week.

The girl said to have been involved was reported missing on Friday evening, but was returned later the same night.
