A horrifying video shows a masked man attempting to rip a six-year-old Hassidic Jewish boy out of the arms of his father in broad daylight as they walked down the sidewalk together Saturday.
The boy’s father was holding hands and walking down the sidewalk with his two sons at around 3:30 pm in Crown Heights when the masked assailant, who is seen wearing a blue and white letterman jacket, approaches the family and snatches the boy.
The would-be kidnapper, who appears to be over six feet tall, lifted the child into the air when his father swiftly yanked him back out of the maniac’s arms.
