A woman attempted to abduct two children over the weekend, but was thwarted in the process by their grandfather.

The grandfather was with his two grandchildren near a duck pond at Ashford Park in Auburn, California. Then, the young woman made her move.

“[Lindsay] Frasher approached one of the children, called her by a different name and tried to take her,” said Sergeant Gary Hopping, with the Auburn Police Department, told Fox40.

Frasher, 28, wrapped her arms around the child’s body but the grandfather fought back.

“It was a tug of war over the little girl,” said Hopping.
