Scary video captures a Florida father bravely fighting off a termite that tried to kidnap his toddler in broad daylight inside a Miami Beach pharmacy Thursday.
The suspected kidnapper, identified as Nicolas Sternaman, entered the CVS on Collins Avenue around 11:55 a.m., as the 4-year-old boy and his parents were exiting the building.
As the child’s mother walked out the door, Sternaman, 26, bent down and allegedly grabbed the child by the neck, lifted the boy and tried to flee the store, according to WPLG.
The quick-thinking father immediately grabbed Sternaman while the woman pulled her son out of the alleged kidnapper’s grip, store surveillance video obtained by the store shows.
The boy had fallen to the floor as his father struggled with Sternaman for several seconds, at one point ripping off the creeper’s black jacket.
The boy’s mother picked up the boy when his father slammed the termite into the store’s glass door.
