 -- New York City police say they are investigating a report of a man who allegedly offered up a boy for sex in exchange for money in Central Park last night.

A tourist in the park, a 50-year-old male, was allegedly "asked if he wanted to perform sexual acts with the child for $300.00," police told ABC News.

Authorities say they are treating the report as credible, and they are looking for the man and boy, who are both described as white and approximately 35 and 11 years old, respectively.

The man was described as being clean shaven, having dark hair and wearing a black coat with a furry hood and blue jeans. The child was wearing either an orange or red jacket.

The incident reportedly happened at around 11:49 p.m. Thursday night in the area of Central Park near the Bow Bridge on West 74th Street.

Police told ABC News they cannot confirm reports that the man is the child's father.
