A SHOCKING video shows the moment a mother rescues her five-year-old son after a would-be kidnapper reportedly attempted to snatch him away.
The boy, Jacob, and his mother, Dolores Diaz Lopez, were walking in Queens, New York City, at 8pm on Thursday when a man rushed out of a red vehicle.
The man snatched Jacob and carried him into his car with another suspect sitting in the passenger seat.
As Diaz Lopez saw this happening, she rushed to the car, reached into the open window, and pulled her son away from the kidnapper and out of the car.
Diaz Lopez said in an interview with ABC7 that she and her kids were walking to visit her husband at work when the instance occurred.
“I said 'oh my God my kids, oh my God my boy'," Diaz Lopez said.
SUSPECT AT LARGE
The kidnapper had not said anything as he put him in the car.
At first, Jacob was sitting down but when his older brother came up and begged for the stranger to release him, Jacob stood up and Diaz Lopez was able to reach into the car and save her son.
"I don't know why that happened. I didn't see those people, ever," Diaz Lopez said.
It is still unclear why this incident occurred but the child was not injured.
According to the footage, the kidnapper is described as a man in his 30s with arm tattoos and a goatee.
The man was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, gray shorts, and dark-colored sneakers.
The suspect that was sitting in the passenger seat of a maroon 4-door sedan, is described as a man aged between 50 and 60, with eyeglasses.
He was last caught wearing an orange T-shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes.
Police are asking anyone with information to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
