A man tried to grab an eight-year-old boy from a passing car as he made his way to school with his mum, police said.
The youngster was walking along a pavement in Yeovil, Somerset, on Monday morning when the would-be kidnapper jumped from the driver's seat of the vehicle.
Police said the man then fled as the mum, who was also pushing another young child in a pushchair at the time, began screaming.
