Driver tries to lure Paddington boy out walking dog

A 13-year-old boy has reported a man tried to coax him into a car as he walked his dog in Sydney.

The boy was walking on Glenview Street in Paddington, in the city's east, when a car pulled up beside him about 6.30pm (AEST) on Sunday.

The driver, described as a skinny Caucasian with a blond Mohawk hairstyle, tried to coax the boy into the car, police said.

The teenager declined and kept walking.

The car was described as a late-model white Subaru with black and gold plates beginning with the letters LC.

It was last seen travelling west on Glenview Street.

Police are urging anyone who may have seen the car or the driver, believed to be in his 30s, to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
