A 5-yr-old boy was grabbed by a man while he was walking home from school with his family in London.

The man who grabbed the child, was not known by the child’s family. It’s understood that the man followed the boy before trying to grab him by the hand in Brick Lane last Friday in broad daylight.

The attempted kidnap thankfully failed because the boy was with two family members, who managed to pull the child away from the man and run to a nearby family friend’s house where they called the police.

The Metropolitian Police released the above image of a man that allegedly grabbed the child. They say that the incident is isolated but that parents in London should be extremely vigilant.
