OREGON – A Portland, Oregon mother says she punched a man who was trying to abduct her 6-year old Sunday night. The girl had been playing outside at a friend’s house when the young man grabbed her just before 6:30 p.m. and tried to pull her into the bushes according to police.

“I thought I heard something and then I looked and the man had my daughter in a bush with his hand over her mouth & around her waist,” Antoinette Robinson said. “I jumped up and ran out of the house and I just socked him in his face. Then I went to go hit him again and he let her go and we both rolled down the hill.”

The suspect ran off after releasing the girl. After that, Robinson said she jumped into a car with neighbors and chased him down.

“I got out with a 2×4 and I broke it over him, I’m not going to lie, I just went over there and I just stomped him in his face and mouth,” Robinson said.

The neighbors tackled the suspect and held him down until police arrived, according to Lt. Robert King with the Portland Police Bureau.

Police arrested the 17-year-old suspect on kidnap and aggravated harassment charges.
