VANCOUVER — A 61-year-old man is in custody after Vancouver police allege he attempted to abduct an infant.
Sgt. Randy Fincham says the incident occurred Saturday at a Commercial Drive grocery store.
He says the man tried to forcefully remove the infant from a stroller before he was stopped by the child's mother and another customer.
Sgt. Fincham says the man then left the store and threatened a second infant in a stroller a short distance away, but was stopped by concerned citizens.
The man is facing charges of attempted kidnapping, assault, and uttering threats.
Investigators believe mental health may have played a role in the troubling incident.
