Police are looking for a man who apparently tried to abduct a little boy from his nanny on East 6th Street between Avenues A and B in the East Village yesterday morning. Video shows a man grabbing the 4-year-old and trying to walk away with him, but his nanny screamed and took the boy back. The suspect fled west on East 6th; the principal of PS 64 right down the street says police told her about the incident. The suspect is described as a black male "between 45 and 55 years old... about 5-foot-7 with a slim build... wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt and faded black jeans." Contact NYPD Crime Stoppers with information.
