3 kids save boy from possible abduction
Wed Sep 9, 7:59 AM
Cops in the eastern-most part of the city are looking for a man they say tried to pluck a 10-year-old boy from a park.
The would-be victim was in Adam's Park, near Lawson and Port Union Rds., when "a man who had been waiting in the area" approached him at 6:30 p.m. last Thursday, Toronto Police said yesterday.
"The man grabbed the victim's arm and tried to drag him from the playground," police said in a news release. "The victim called out for help and three kids came to assist."
The man was scared off by the unknown threesome, who are being hailed as heroes, Const. Tony Vella said.
"(Investigators) are trying to identify who the three kids are," Vella said. "We're asking them to come forward to police. They definitely rescued the 10-year-old boy."
The attacker was described as brown-skinned, about 5-foot-9, with a medium build, black hair in a ponytail and a moustache.
He was wearing a dark-blue leather jacket with a silhouette of a person holding a baseball bat on the front left chest area, a multi-coloured, striped, oversized baseball cap with the letter 'C,' brown cargo shorts and sandals, police said.

ReplyDeleteI hope they come forward, it is so wonderful to know there is some good people in the world.
I hope they catch the dirt-ball and hing him by his [yo-ho] till it break off.
You can see what a coward these pedophiles are,afraid of some little boys.
Those boys have my admiration, they really are brave. But oh my god, those pedophiles are just freaky. I do understand pedophilia is an illness but they should realize it needs to be cured and let kids be.
