Harrowing Footage Shows 11-Year-Old Girl Narrowly Escape Kidnapping Attempt – Suspect Nabbed Thanks to Neighbor
A 37-year-old Arizona man was arrested after harrowing surveillance video showed what took place Friday as an 11-year-old girl was walking to school.
“As a father myself, as a parent, it’s very frightening that on her normal walk to school, she was targeted,” Glendale police officer Moroni Mendez said Monday, according to Arizona Family.
“Someone tried to take her away from her loving family,” he said.
Joseph Leroy Ruiz was arrested in connection with the incident. He faces charges of attempted kidnapping and custodial interference.
Police responded to Sunset Elementary School after a fifth-grader said she feared she was the target of a kidnapping attempt.
