BBC News, Lancashire<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n A woman has pleaded guilty to attempting to abduct a seven-month-old baby girl in Blackpool.<\/p>\n The child was being pushed in a pram in Central Drive, near Coral Island amusements arcade, when Nicola Goldrick approached, before people nearby stepped in to help the parents on 10 May.<\/p>\n Goldrick, of no fixed address, admitted the charge, as well as common assault, at Preston Crown Court.<\/p>\n The 51-year-old was remanded in custody ahead of a sentencing hearing set for 7 October .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Following the hearing, Det Sgt Rob Bartlett, of Blackpool CID, said: “The little girl was in her pram with her parents close by when Goldrick brazenly walked up to her and attempted to abduct her. <\/p>\n “This understandably caused an unimaginable fear to the baby’s parents, who never expected someone to attempt to take their child from them as they went about their daily business.<\/p>\n “We welcome the guilty plea and can only hope that the baby and her family can begin to move forward following sentencing.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n![\"David](\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/74aa\/live\/6e7ff630-6c87-11f0-8dbd-f3d32ebd3327.jpg.webp\")
