A would-be kidnapper who took a 6-year-old off a busy Brooklyn street on Sunday night abandoned his alleged plan when the screaming child’s parents chased him, according to video footage of the incident. 

The 36-year-old suspect was seen grabbing the boy with one arm just before 10 p.m. in Coney Island, an iconic entertainment and residential area, according to video footage taken by Freedom News TV. 

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

“The parents just chased after the guy, and they caught him,” Smiles said. “It was just shocking. I’m a mother myself, so… we all ran 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.
