A mother rescued her son in a terrible incident and dragged him through the window of a kidnapper’s car after he was brazenly knocked off a Queens sidewalk.
A complete stranger was caught on surveillance tape accidentally grabbing 5-year-old Jacob off the street in the Richmond Hill neighborhood before the child’s mother came to the rescue.
“I said, ‘Oh my god my kids, oh my god my boy,” said 45-year-old Dolores Diaz Lopez.
Dolores Diaz Lopez was walking in the Richmond Hill neighborhood of Queens when someone tried to grab her five-year-old son Jacob off the sidewalk.
The woman noticed that the stranger grabbing her son said nothing when he put him in the car – and she had never seen him before.
In an interview with ABC7NY, Diaz Lopez said that she and her children were on their way to see their father on Hillside Avenue in New York City at around 8 p.m. Thursday when the man jumped out of a parked maroon limousine and walked towards them.
Investigators said there was no evidence that the suspects knew the boy’s mother.
A surveillance video from the crime scene shows a man in a white T-shirt and gray shorts picking up the five-year-old boy and putting him in the back seat.
Jacob gets into the car first, but when his older brother approaches and asks the suspect to release the boy, Jacob gets up and Diaz Lopez is able to pull him out.
