A St. Catharines man is facing charges after a troubling incident involving children at a city park.
Niagara Police say a parent reported an older man had been following children, talking to them and allegedly tried to grab a young child near Russell Avenue and Catherine Street.
Officers arrested 78-year-old Carmelito Mariano for assault after the man returned to the area.
Detectives believe there may be other victims and are asking anyone with information to contact police.
