CCTV Video Captures The Moment A 5 Year Old Is Nearly Kidnapped In NYC

NEW YORK - Police say they have arrested one of the two suspects caught on camera Friday attempting to kidnap a child as he walked with his mother and other children along a street in Queens.

The horrifying incident happened on Thursday at 8 p.m. in front of 117-02 Hillside Avenue in Richmond Hill. Video shows the driver of a vehicle park the car, run to the sidewalk, and grabbed 5-year-old Jacob Diaz, as his mother Dolores and the other children attempted to stop him. The suspect shoved the five-year-old into the car's backseat.

"I was scared, I got nervous and screamed," Dolores Diaz told FOX 5 NY. "In that moment I wasn’t in shock or nervous I just acted."

Diaz and one of the children followed the victim and the suspect in an attempt to reach the boy. According to Diaz, the two suspects in the car began arguing, which was when Jacob pulled himself up and headed towards the front passenger window, which was open.

The shocking video shows the moment Diaz pulled her son out of the car.

The NYPD has identified the arrested suspect as James McGonagle, 24, of Queens. He has been charged with attempted kidnapping, reckless endangerment, and acting in a manner injurious to a child under 17.

Authorities are still searching for the second suspect, who they describe as a light-skinned male, 50 to 60 years old, with eyeglasses; last seen wearing an orange shirt, blue jeans and black shoes.
