A Michigan teen used a slingshot to successfully ward off a kidnapper who grabbed his younger sister while she was playing in their backyard, according to Police.
The 8-year-old girl was “mushroom hunting” in the backyard of her Alpena Township home when a man emerged from the woods connected to the backyard, grabbed her, and placed his hand over her mouth in an attempt to pull her into the woods, state police Sergeant Shane Smith told CNN Saturday.
The kidnapper then fled into the woods, taking a well-used trail used by the community, Smith said. Before calling authorities, the young girl’s family called other family members telling them about the incident, so they could be on the lookout for the man in the woods. A little while later, the kidnapper was spotted in the parking lot of a Big Lots store and then seen going into a gas station bathroom, Smith said.
