An attempted kidnapping in a small town near Minneapolis was stopped thanks to a neighbor’s curiosity. Video footage shows a woman outside a Domino’s Pizza when a man walks up, grabs her, and forces her across the street to his van. Neighbor Cindy Vadnais heard screaming and thought it was kids playing, but went to investigate to be sure.
She drove half a block and the woman ran out in front of Cindy’s car screaming, “He’s trying to get me into the van! He’s trying to kidnap me!” Cindy tried to keep the guy from leaving, but he was able to drive off, but not before she got his name off the sign on his van. She reported him and the attempted kidnapper has been caught and charged.
“I didn’t even have time to be scared … I was more mad,” Cindy explains. “No, I’m not a hero. Anyone would do the same thing. I would do it again.”
