A Florida mother and an off-duty deputy thwarted an child abduction attempt at a dollar store, which was captured on video.

The unnamed mother was shopping with her 13-year-old daughter in Hernando when the suspect, Craig Bonello, tried to grab the young girl, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

The mother reacted quickly as the 30-year-old man ran with her daughter. She chased him and grabbed her daughter’s arm in a tug-of-war type incident.
