A 48-year-old Spanish man has been arrested at Sydney’s Kingsford Smith Airport following reports of three cases of indecent assaults at different McDonalds restaurants.
The man was apprehended after a manhunt was launched by police following reports of two separate incidents of young boys being kissed and touched on Saturday night, then another the next day at Cowra McDonalds where a young girl was kissed.
In the first assault the man, described as ‘dodgy looking’ by mum Jasmine, attacked her son as she was buying her kids an ice-cream at the Drummoyne restaurant. He apparently was seen waiting outside the toilets before backing up to the children’s table and planting a kiss squarely on the lips of the 4-year-old boy. He then fled, leaving a lollipop as a souvenir.
Just hours later he struck again, this time in Sylvania in Sydney’s south where an 11-year-old boy was approached in the toilets before being again kissed by the man. The Cowra assault involved a 9-year-old girl who was kissed on the lips outside the McDonalds. The man was seen to flee from both the Drummoyne and Cowra scenes in a white hatchback, believed to be a Hyundai Getz.
Following the public release of a description of the man he was spotted in the Airport carpark before being cornered by police. With any luck he will end up in a cell where inmates will treat him to a happy meal.
