Saskatoon police said Monday an elderly man was arrested after a 10-year-old boy was approached for sexual purposes last month.

The boy reported being offered money to attend an older man’s apartment while walking in the area of Avenue P South at roughly 8:30 a.m. CT on May 30.

Once in the apartment, police said the man attempted to obtain sexual favours from the boy.

The boy fled the apartment without any physical injuries.
