Jonathan Robalino, 36, has been charged with attempted kidnapping after allegedly trying to snatch a 6-year-old boy on Coney Island. Robalino's lawyer argued for psychiatric care instead of jail time, citing his lack of prior criminal charges. Witnesses claim Robalino threw the child to the ground during the incident. Video evidence is said to contradict claims about the child's fall. The father of the boy intervened during the attempted kidnapping. Robalino was arraigned on several charges, including assault and endangering a child.
While I do not undercut the severity of the allegations, I will say that there is video already available in the press that does not reflect the incident.
Robalino, who was bizarrely clad in all black and wearing a black apparent fez hat at the time, was finally pounced on by Rah Rah's dad, who held him until cops showed up and put him in handcuffs.
