7:25PM EST: [UPDATE BELOW] Dozens of NYPD officers & members of Boro Park Shomrim (BSSP) are on the hunt for a black SUV wanted for an attempted abduction just moments ago.
Although details are still sketchy, BSSP tell YWN the following initial information:
The incident occurred on 48th Street between 15th & 16th Avenue’s at approximately 6:15PM (Thursday afternoon). A dark colored SUV driving down the street suddenly stopped, and two males with a dark complexion attempted to abduct a Jewish 8-year-old boy. The child began screaming as they tried pulling him into the vehicle, and let him go and drove off.
As of this posting, the NYPD has ordered a “Level 1 Mobilization”, and an investigation is underway.
UPDATE 7:44PM EST: YWN has just learned that thanks to the fast work of the NYPD & Boro Park Shomrim, the NYPD has located the vehicle, and made an arrest on 18th Avenue & 55th Street. Our sources tell us that the child has made a positive ID on the vehicle and the suspect.
Any further details will be posted as they become available to us.

Terrible. Summer has started.
Parents: children and that includes 8 year olds MAY NOT be outside without supervision.
This is double good news. Hodu Lashem Ki Tov Ki Leolam Chasdo!
great job by bssp shomrim and nypd
“two males with a dark complexion”. I would NEVER have guessed! “”
Baruch Hashem the child is ok. He was smart to scream and it’s great that he was able to identify the vehicle and the suspect.
Baruch Hashem. I hope both are caught and end up in a jail cell for a nice number of years. Our Kinderlach are not Hefker!
My heart is pounding.
baruch hashem!!
Didn’t we just go through this nightmare approximately a year or so ago? Weren’t there the same type of abductions of children in Boro Park?
#9..the guy didnt know about it…
To #6
Kinderlach, regardless whether “our’s” or not “Our’s”, are not Hefker.
We should care and worry for the well being of All children.
There is a Federal DEATH PENALTY for kidnaping (The “Lindbergh Law”). Let’s demand that these two thugs get it.!
There’s no mention of which Yeshiva the SUV was from.
#11:
All Yiddishe Kinderlach.
#12..ok, so where do we make a meeting and discuss it?
#11..dont you ‘kinderlech’ me, i’m old enough to be your grand….
#1 and #5 comments are very important. Parents should teach there children what to do in case of an abduction. Also, parents must watch there children at all times, especially when school ends at 4:30 and it doesn’t get dark till 7.
Hashem, please continue to protect us.
