The man is yet to be charged and police are investigating if he has links to other incidents being investigated by Taskforce Tydeus, which was set up to deal with the reports of children being approached across Canberra since February this year.
There have been 18 child approaches reported to ACT Policing since February, with Taskforce Tydeus announced earlier this month.
In the most recent incident, police located the man after making inquiries about the report.
It comes after a child was approached on Monday afternoon in Wanniassa, where a student was approached by a man in a white dual cab ute while waiting to be picked up by a parent. Police said the man is caucasian, between 40 and 50 years of age, with shoulder length hair and a long beard. He also had a large ear piercing.
Anyone with information about the Wanniassa incident is asked to contact ACT Policing or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 and quote Taskforce Tydeus reference 6269577.
