A man has been charged with two counts of attempted kidnap after police were called to a splash pad in a popular park.
Officers were called to the free attraction at popular Victoria Park in Canton, Cardiff, at about 12:00 BST on Thursday after a number of reports raising concerns about a man’s behaviour in the area.
Some were concerned the man had been taking photographs or recording children at the park, but officers found he was not in possession of such devices after searching him.
South Wales Police said Moynul Janu, 34, of no fixed abode, had also been charged with two public order offences and remanded in custody.
Grade II listed Victoria Park, in the west of the city, was opened in 1897 and one of the first parks in the UK to receive a restoration grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund in 1995.
The splash pad, which is free and popular with families, typically opens in late May or early June for the remainder of the summer months.
