Philadelphia Police are on high alert today after an attempted abduction was caught on tape Tuesday in broad daylight.

The dramatic moment, recorded by a surveillance camera across the street, shows an unknown man sneak up behind a 10-year-old girl and her 2-year-old brother, place his hand over the girl's mouth, and attempt to carry her away.

After a struggle, the girl falls to the ground and the man flees to his vehicle parked around the corner.

According to WXTF, the incident occurred on the 2400 block of Lee Street in South Philadelphia.

A press release issued by the Philadelphia Police describes the suspect as a Hispanic male, 5'9"-6'0", medium complexion, thin build, 30-40 years-of-age, thin mustache, short black curly hair, wearing a black short sleeve T-shirt, and blue pants.

“This is a sick individual, to do something like that,” said Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter to CBS Philly. “I want this creep off our streets immediately.”

Mayor Nutter also announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.


According to NBC10, the man's vehicle is a late 1990's or early 2000's mid-sized white 4-door foreign car. The driver's side rear bumper has a black scuff mark and the left front fender wheel well is dented.

Police ask you to call 215-686-TIPS (8477) if you have any info about the incident, adds FOX29. If you see the suspect call 911 immediately.

Tips can also be texted to PPD Tip (773847) or can be submitted anonymously online.

Philadelphia Police On Lookout For Child Abductor; Girl's Dramatic Escape Caught On Tape (VIDEO)/LE arrests Carlos  Figueroa-Fagot, charged with several felonies and misdemeanors  Empty Arrest made in Philadelphia attempted abduction

(CNN) -- Philadelphia police arrested Carlos Figueroa-Fagot after he turned himself in to authorities who believe he is the man who tried to snatch a 10-year-old girl in Philadelphia, authorities said Thursday
The 33-year-old suspect gave himself up Wednesday evening after police released surveillance video showing the attack.
"This case demonstrates the power of getting information out," Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter told reporters.
Figueroa-Fagot was charged with a series of felony and misdemeanor charges, including attempted kidnapping, unlawful restraint, indecent assault and other counts.
Authorities say the suspect has a prior criminal record in Puerto Rico that stems from between 2000 and 2006.
Last year, he also faced allegations of sexual assault from a family member in Philadelphia, police said. That case, however, was withdrawn without prosecution earlier this month.
Neither Figueroa-Fagot nor his attorney could be immediately be reached for comment.
The incident sparked an outcry that reached the top levels of city government, with Nutter announcing a $10,000 reward for the capture of the perpetrator, who tried to snatch the girl while she was walking home from a store with her 2-year-old brother on Tuesday.
Police Captain John Darby said the girl immediately struggled against her attacker, but credits the screams of her little brother with thwarting her abduction.
The boy "literally screams louder than anything she's ever heard before," Darby told reporters Thursday.
The surveillance video was released Wednesday on the Philadelphia Police Department's YouTube page.

It shows a white car pulling up to the corner of Porter and Lee streets while the girl and her brother are walking home. As the children make a left onto Lee Street, a male gets out of the car and follows the children.
The video then switches to Lee Street as the suspect walks up behind the girl and grabs her, pulling her away from her little brother, whose hand she was holding. The girl falls to the ground moments after she is grabbed and the suspect then lets go and runs away, fleeing in the white car. Authorities say the man also put his hand over the girl's mouth, though that is unclear in the video.
Neighbors told CNN affiliate KYW they are grateful the little girl is OK, but were worried for children in the neighborhood while the man was on the loose.
"It's scary. It's making people nervous, making people think that they can't bring their kids outside, you know, and let them play outside by themselves, and that's not right," neighbor Kathleen McDowell told KYW.
Police also announced Thursday that the department's Special Victims Unit made four unrelated arrests on rape and conspiracy charges related to the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl on Monday at a Philadelphia recreation center.
Authorities said they are looking for a fifth man and that they know his identity.

I wason pims and needles all day until I knew they caught this animal. That video was chilling-she was walking on a street, in broad daylight, with her brother. I am so glad she got away, and so glad he is in jail. No one is safe, it seems-day or night.

Philadelphia Police On Lookout For Child Abductor; Girl's Dramatic Escape Caught On Tape (VIDEO)/LE arrests Carlos  Figueroa-Fagot, charged with several felonies and misdemeanors  Empty Attempted Child Kidnapping Case Going To Trial

Post by NiteSpinR Mon Jul 01, 2013 2:15 am

PHILADELPHIA—A man accused of having tried to kidnap a 10-year-old girl off a sidewalk near her south Philadelphia home last month has waived his right to a preliminary hearing.


The Philadelphia Inquirer says 33-year-old Carlos Figueroa-Fagot appeared confused at times Tuesday as he answered questions through a Spanish interpreter and agreed to have his case go directly to trial.



Defense attorney Geoffrey Kilroy said prosecutors dropped an aggravated indecent assault count in exchange for the defense not requiring a hearing at which the girl would have to testify.



Assistant District Attorney Joseph McGlynn called the alleged kidnapping attempt "every parent's worst nightmare" and successfully argued against bail for Figueroa-Fagot, a native of Puerto Rico. He surrendered after surveillance video of the July 17 attack was widely shown.

I'm assuming Carlos Figueroa Fagot's trial has not been set yet, no updates were found.
