Fast-Acting Heroic Texans Take Down Man As He Kidnaps Young Boy

Fast-acting residents at a Houston apartment complex single-handedly captured a man who had just tried to kidnap and sexually assault an 11-year-old boy in the area.

THROWN INTO A CAR

An 11-year-old boy was in his apartment complex laundry room when a man approached him, asking to use his laundry card. After the boy got permission from his mother, he went to give the card to the man and was suddenly snatched up and thrown into a car.

THE TERRIFYING DETAILS

The boy shared details of the scary encounter. He said the man threatened him and said, "Obey me or else you'll get killed." According to the young boy, the man tried putting him into different sexual positions.

HOW HE ESCAPED

The boy managed to escape when his hands were free. "He grabbed my hands, but then he grabbed my phone to put it somewhere else; he forgot my hands were free, so then I opened the door."

NEIGHBORS QUICKLY TRAPPED THE MAN

Thankfully neighbors nearby heard the commotion they quickly came to intervene. A video shared with ABC 13 shows neighbors holding the man down until police arrived.

NOT FROM THE AREA

The man had been identified as Miguel Angel Cordero Ramirez; the man did not live in the area.

A message from his victim is what he hopes happens to Ramirez, "he stays in jail forever and to never do that again so he can learn his lesson."
