POLICE ON LOOKOUT FOR HOLIDAY CHILD PREDATOR

PITTSBURGH - Police are on the lookout for a holiday predator wearing an old silk hat who lures children to follow him down to the village by dancing around through the streets of town.

He is described as a very white male with a corncob pipe, a button nose and two eyes made out of coal. Authorities warn that the predator is armed with a broomstick in his hand. He was last seen running here and there and all around the square, saying "catch me if you can." Police lost his trail when he seemingly melted away while taunting his pursuers that he'll be back again one day.

Police are asking for any information regarding suspicious persons matching the predator's description.
