A shocking new video shows the moment a creep tried to snatch a 5-year-old boy off a Queens sidewalk as the child walked with his mother and siblings, cops say.
The horrifying incident unfolded just before 8:45 p.m. Thursday near Myrtle and Hillside avenues in Richmond Hill, after an older model maroon sedan pulled up alongside the mother and her three kids, cops said.
An unknown man jumped out of the driver’s seat, ran up to the little boy and grabbed him and shoved him into the back seat of the vehicle, the chilling footage shows.
