The suspect allegedly tried to kidnap the 10-year-old Florida girl twice

A segment of one of the two events, which was captured on a home security camera, showed the girl sprinting down a suburban street before pausing for a little while to gather her breath and then start again. On Wednesday, October 19, the kid was traveling to school when an unidentified adult male, according to Fort Lauderdale police, tried to lure her with sweets, money, and other types of enticement. The Fort Lauderdale Police Department posted on Facebook: "The male attempted to lure her by offering candy, money, and other items, which she declined. The suspect then attempted to grab her but thankfully, she was able to run away." The victim allegedly reported to the authorities that he attempted to grab her. However, she got away and informed the police that he was operating a black work van with possible rear-end damage. Additionally, she stated that there were no windows on the side doors of the vehicle. Based on sources, this was an unreported incident which occurred on Wednesday between 7:30 am and 8 am.
