A Massachusetts man has been arrested after police say he kidnapped a child at a Webster beach and assaulted her.

It allegedly happened on the Patriot’s Day holiday at Memorial Beach. The girl was alone.

Police say 68-year-old Walter Fanion of Southbridge has been arrested.
"The gentleman had a dog with him," said Webster Police Chief Michael Shaw. "Sparked some interaction there, conversation about the dog, she ended up in the car."

Fanion allegedly touched the girl inappropriately in the car before dropping her off near her grandmother's home, where the girl told her grandmother what happened.
He allegedly told the child he'd be back at the beach the following day at 11:30 a.m.

The girl, who's under 14 years old, was able to provide investigators with unique characteristics of the car.
 
Investigators want to know if Fanion may be connected to any other similar incidents.

"It seems to be he frequented the beach, so we ask if anyone had any contact with him, or if their children recognize him and they had inappropriate contact with him, we encourage them to contact us," Shaw said.
