A teenage girl screamed and shouted as two men pulled up in a car and grabbed her.

Police are appealing for witnesses and information after the incident in Hartforde Road, Borehamwood, at 6.50pm on Friday.

A 15-year-old girl was walking along the street when a small white car stopped beside her.

Two men got out of the car, approached the teenager and began speaking to her.
