A 12-year-old boy in Florida who was targeted by an adult ran home yelling, “Stranger danger,” with authorities saying his quick thinking likely helped him avoid being kidnapped.
The situation happened near 100 Hibiscus Tree Drive in Lantana.
Police officers said that the male suspect yelled at the boy, telling him to get into a silver Honda that the man was driving.
The boy ignored the man and started walking away, but as the suspect continued to try to get the youth into his vehicle, the boy broke out into a run while yelling loudly.
A neighbor was alerted by the yells and jotted down the license plate number of the Honda Accord before the suspect drove away.
Detectives said that thanks to the tip, they located the suspect, Domingo Domingo Andres, 24, reported CBS12.
