A brazen offender tried to snatch a little boy from a Manhattan park on Wednesday, police said.
The man tried to leave with a 3-year-old boy at a soccer field around 5:43 p.m. at Thomas Jefferson Park on East 114th St. and Pleasant Ave. in East Harlem — but failed to pull off the child-snatching, cops said.
The little boy was unharmed and was reunited with his mom.
There were no immediate arrests.
Cops say they are looking for a 5-foot, 7-inch, 150-pound man in his mid-30s who was dressed in a black Adidas shirt, navy blue hat, blue jeans, white sneakers, and sunglasses when he fled the park, heading south on First Ave., police sources said.
Anyone with information on is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
