Shocking video footage has revealed the moment a masked man attempted to kidnap a young Jewish boy as he walked to synagogue with his father in broad daylight.
The terrifying incident unfolded at around 3:30pm on Saturday as a father and his 6-year-old son were walking to a sabbath gathering on Kingston Avenue in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Stephen Sowe, 28, was arrested after he was captured on chilling security camera footage suddenly trying to yank the young boy from his father’s arms, pulling his body so hard his feet could be seen leaving the ground.
Despite the man’s forceful attempts, the father never lost his grip on the child and the alleged kidnap attempt was unsuccessful.
Stowe, a gang member with 33 prior arrests, was arrested and charged with attempted kidnapping on Sunday, authorities and sources told the New York Post.
