Police say the 10-year-old was confronted by a lone male suspect in a family changing room last Friday at about 6:30 p.m..

Officers describe a short struggle for a bag she was carrying during which the girl fell and hit her head.

Her injuries were minor and the bag was tossed aside before the suspect fled.

Police say a parent was outside the change room door.

He may have a tattoo of a wolf's head on the underside of his right wrist.
