Frightening video captured a Florida father bravely fighting off a creep who attempted to abduct his young child in broad daylight inside a Miami Beach pharmacy Thursday.
The suspected kidnapper, identified as Nicolas Sternaman, had walked into the CVS on Collins Avenue around 11:55 a.m., just as the 4-year-old boy and his parents were exiting the building.
As the boy’s mother walked out the door, Sternaman, 26, hunched over and allegedly grabbed the child by the neck, lifted the boy and attempted to flee the store, according to WPLG.
The quick-thinking dad instantly grabbed Sternaman while the woman pulled her child out of the alleged kidnapper’s clutches, store surveillance video obtained by the outlet showed.
The boy had fallen to the floor as his father wrestled with Sternaman for several seconds, at one point ripping the creep’s black jacket off.
The child’s mother picked the boy up as the father slammed the creep into the store’s glass door.
