Police on Thursday arrested a man
after he tried to snatch a five-year-old girl off a Rome street
in broad daylight.
The child was taking a walk with her grandmother in the
outlying Appio-Tuscolano neighborhood when the man approached
and attempted to abduct her.
Passersby managed to stop him, alerting police and holding
him until he was taken into custody.
He faces charges of attempted kidnapping, police said.
