FORDHAM HEIGHTS, the Bronx — Police arrested a man Thursday who allegedly grabbed an 8-year-old boy from his mother in a Bronx subway station.
The child and his 35-year-old mom were headed toward the D train platform in the Fordham Road Station on March 16 when Luis Toledo, 36, walked up and allegedly snatched the boy “from his mother’s hand,” police officials said.
When the mom screamed for help and pulled her son back, Toledo allegedly stared at them until a crowd formed, according to the NYPD. No injuries were reported.
