VIDEO | Watch the interview:
The video shows the boy walking with his mother around 8 p.m. on Hillside Avenue in Richmond Hill. A man exited a red vehicle, picked up the boy and took him into the car while the other suspect was seated in the front passenger seat.
The boy’s mother, Dolores Diaz Lopez, saw this happen, reached out through the open front window of the car and pulled her son away from the man and out of the car.
WATCH | Raw video of the incident:
Diaz Lopez said she was walking with her children on her way to visit her husband at work when a man grabbed her son, Jacob.
“I said ‘oh my god my children, oh my god my boy,” said Diaz Lopez.
She said her son first sat in the backseat, but after she and her children begged them to return the boy, he got up and she was able to grab him.
The suspects drove south on Hillside Avenue, then west on Jamaica Avenue.
“I don’t know why it happened. I never saw these people,” said Diaz Lopez.
She explained in Spanish that a mother’s instinct is what made her fight and act in a different way.
“You have to do what is necessary no matter what,” he said. “The car was just parked there. I never imagined a man would get out of the car and grab my son. You should always be aware of your surroundings and not be on the phone.”
Police released photos of the two suspects.
The child was not injured and the motive remains a mystery.
The vehicle is described as an older model of a brown 4-door sedan.
Police are asking anyone with information to call the New York Police helpline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
