VIDEO: Shocking moment man tries to snatch child from mom…in front of Army vet uncle. Watch what happened
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by The Daily Wire:
On the evening of January 4, a family was taking its first trip to the beach in Venice, California, when a homeless man persisted in trying to grab the family’s six-year-old girl from her mother’s arms. That triggered the girl’s uncle, a U.S. Army veteran, to execute a takedown where the two men wrestled until LAPD Pacific Division officers arrived; it took six officers to subdue the homeless man.
Riley Pegram, his daughter Neveah and her uncle Chris were first accosted on the beach by Evan McLaurin-Nelson, whom investigators stated had a “lengthy arrest record in both Las Vegas and California that includes false imprisonment, indecent exposure, battery and disorderly conduct,” according to The Daily Mail, which added that McLaurin-Nelson claimed he knew Neveah and had to “save her.”
The article goes on to state the following:
The family attempted to evade McLaurin-Nelson by joining Neveah’s mother getting dinner at a pizza shop, but McLaurin-Nelson followed them, trying to seize Neveah. Chris got a hand on his neck trying to forestall him, but McLaurin-Nelson again attempted to seize Neveah as her mother to shove him away with her leg, prompting Chris to grab McLaurin-Nelson’s hair and yank him to the ground, where they wrestled before Chris pinned the frenzied homeless man down.
In a statement to KTLA, Neveah said, “It was so scary. I was bawling my eyes out because I was scared I was going to get taken away from my mommy and daddy.”
McLaurin-Nelson was charged with one count of attempted kidnap and one count of resisting an officer. He pled not guilty on both counts.
