Parents' desperate chase foils Brooklyn kidnapper's sinister plot
A would-be kidnapper who took a 6-year-old off a busy Brooklyn street on Sunday night abandoned his alleged plan when the screaming child's parents chased him, according to video footage of the incident. The 36-year-old suspect was seen grabbing the boy with one arm just before 10 p.m. in Coney Island, an iconic entertainment and residential area, according to video footage taken by Freedom News TV. He carried the screaming boy several feet before the child's parents chased the suspect, who dropped the boy as he fled. Nora Smiles, who calls herself "The Sneaker Lady" and whose shop is right next to the scene, told Freedom News TV that the boy was trailing his parents moments before the incident. "So a man came, and he was trying to cut him off. Then the little boy was trying to spin off of him," she said. "The man just grabbed him up and started running with the little boy." Once the parents gave chase, the suspect dropped the child to the ground and ran into an intersection, the video shows. "The parents just chased after the guy, and they caught him," Smiles said. "It was just shocking. I'm a mother myself, so… we all ran over to see what happened." Smiles, who isn't from the area, said locals were familiar with the suspect. During the incident, police officers responded quickly and arrested the suspect, the New York Post reported. The boy — whose family is from Queens — complained of minor pain and was taken to Coney Island Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, according to the newspaper. Fox News Digital has reached out to the New York Police Department.

Bear-spray attacker charged for dousing crowd, sparking stampede at NYC park Pride party: ‘Vomiting all over'
A 23-year-old New Yorker was nabbed for allegedly unleashing bear spray at a massive crowd of Pride revelers inside Washington Square Park, apparently out of fear of being assaulted himself, cops and sources said. Dominick Sabater, 23, of Harlem, allegedly sprayed the substance – held inside an 8.1 ounce container with an image of a bear on the label – as the crowd in the greenspace swelled to about 1,000 people around 7:50 p.m., authorities and law enforcement sources said. 'At some point, a determination was made not to let anybody else into the park. It was overcrowded,' Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters Monday. 'They were using gates to let people leave the park, but nobody was allowed in. At some point, officers are made aware of a disturbance. It appears like a fight is going on.'

Forty-seven members of the crowd were treated by EMS at the scene, and four others were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition, cops said. Advertisement It wasn't immediately clear how many injuries were due to the repellant, and how many were sustained during the ensuing stampede, but none were expected to be life-threatening. 5 Fifty-one civilians and a dozen cops were hurt in the mayhem. AP Additionally, a dozen police officers who were exposed to the spray were also taken to Northwell Greenwich Village Hospital for treatment, police said. 'Officers rushed to the scene, and they are immediately hit with an orange substance that causes them irritation to their eyes, and some of them actually couldn't breathe,' Kenny said. 'So this resulted in 12 officers being removed to the hospital where they were treated for various injuries to their eyes, their throats, into their lungs, difficulty breathing.'
