An attempted kidnapper who snatched a 6-year-old from a bustling Brooklyn street on Sunday night quickly abandoned his supposed plan when the child’s parents pursued him, as shown in video footage of the event.

According to footage captured by Freedom News TV, the 36-year-old suspect was spotted grabbing the child with one arm shortly before 10 p.m. in Coney Island, a well-known entertainment and residential location.

He carried the screaming boy several feet before the child’s parents chased the suspect, who dropped the boy as he fled.

“The parents chased after the guy and managed to catch him,” Smiles remarked. “It was truly shocking. I’m a mother myself, so… we all rushed over to see what happened.”

Smiles, who isn’t from the area, said locals were familiar with the suspect. 

During the incident, police officers responded quickly and arrested the suspect, the New York Post reported.

The boy — whose family is from Queens — complained of minor pain and was taken to Coney Island Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, according to the newspaper.
