A suspect attempted to kidnap a 6-year-old boy on a busy Brooklyn street but abandoned his plan when the child's parents chased him. The 36-year-old kidnapper was seen carrying the boy for several feet before fleeing upon seeing the parents. Eyewitnesses noted that the boy had been trailing behind his parents when the suspect approached him. Local residents recognized the suspect, and police apprehended him shortly after the incident. The child experienced minor pain and was taken to the hospital, where he was reported to be in stable condition.
"So a man came, and he was trying to cut him off. Then the little boy was trying to spin off of him," she said. "The man just grabbed him up and started running with the little boy."
"The parents just chased after the guy, and they caught him," Smiles said. "It was just shocking. I'm a mother myself, so... we all ran over to see what happened."
