An incident occurred this week in the Bronx involving the attempted abduction of an 11-year-old girl. It happened as she was walking home from school. Around 5 p.m. on Tuesday, at the intersection of Bruckner Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue in Mott Haven, a stranger attempted to kidnap the girl by grabbing her wrist.
The quick-thinking pre-teen managed to scare off the attacker by pinching him. Following this, the suspect fled the scene. Law enforcement sources confirmed these details.
The suspect was captured in surveillance images. He was strolling on the sidewalk, wearing a dark beanie, jeans, and a dark jacket over a white T-shirt. In the footage, he appears to hold a cell phone and is seen smoking a cigarette.
Fortunately, the girl was unharmed during the encounter. Police are currently searching for the suspect.
Authorities urge anyone with information about the suspect’s whereabouts to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). For Spanish speakers, the hotline is 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted online through the Crime Stoppers website at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org or via social media on X @NYPDTips.
