Shocking video from New York City shows a homeless man suddenly snatch a three-year-old girl from her grandmother and run off Monday in a broad daylight kidnapping attempt in the Bronx.
Surveillance footage obtained from the BP gas station on the corner of E. Tremont and Baisley Avenues in Schuylerville shows a 65-year-old woman walking along the sidewalk holding hands with her two toddler grandsons on one side and her three-year-old granddaughter on the other at about 1:20 p.m. A man seen with a comforter draped over his shoulders and back like a shawl approached the group at the corner. He suddenly bends down and grabs the girl, wrapping her in the blanket, before quickly running off.
The grandmother follows after the man and her granddaughter, reportedly screaming, "He’s taking my girl! He’s taking my girl! He’s taking my baby!" according to Fermin Bracero, a 63-year-old gas station worker who was outside sweeping at the time.
