The black car, which had a neon light underneath it, pulled up along the Shaws Road at 9.15pm, with the male driver shouting at the girl to get inside.

The man was described as having jaw-length hair with a moustache and was wearing sunglasses, a hoop earring in his right ear, a sovereign ring, a blue shirt and a baseball cap with Budweiser emblazoned on it.

The girl refused, screamed and fled the scene. The car is believed to have headed toward Belfast city centre.
