Damn, that's scary. I hope they caught that guy. Most kidnappings are perpetrated by a family member.

Exactly this. At first I was wondering why someone would try something so brazen in the middle of the day, but to me it seemed likeliest that the kidnapper is probably the kid's dad and (I'm guessing) lost custody but tried to take the kid anyways.

I'd be curious to see if there's a story somewhere about this and what the truth actually is.

Is there any context, like an article describing the event?

A bit more info

Thanks for that. Glad they got one of them.

Like woman, drop the damn bag!

Agreed but also I really doubt she was even thinking about it. Something like that probably happens so fast that you're unaware of anything aside from the situation itself.
