Police say a 27-year-old man trespassed onto a South Florida elementary school's campus, tried to grab four students, and drag them off campus.
Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to Park Ridge Elementary School Wednesday morning.
A school’s spokesperson said students were being dropped off for school and were standing on campus by the cafeteria entrance. That’s when they said Milor Michel approached them and attempted to snatch them.
“The suspect actually had one child in hand and was trying to drag that child out of the parking lot,” said BSO spokesperson Joy Oglesby.
At one point, the suspect was witnessed with his hand on one of the children.
Once confronted by a teacher who witnessed the incident, Michel allegedly ran from the school to the intersection of 100 block of Southwest 15th Street, where he was eventually taken into custody.
Michel has been charged with four counts of kidnapping and false imprisonment, and one count of trespassing.
The children are reportedly OK.
