This is the moment a man is alleged to have tried to kidnap a toddler from her grandmother's shopping cart

He walked up to the youngster who was sitting in the shopping trolley as her grandmother and older sister continued shopping.

As he approached the girl, he held up his finger to his lips, appearing to signal her to keep quiet, before grabbing the cart.

But as he allegedly tried to make off, her 14-year-old sister saw what was happening and also took hold of the cart.

Video footage shows what seems to have been a small tug of war over the trolley as both man and teen refused to let go until the 14-year-old began yelling and the girl's grandmother finally noticed the commotion and turned around.

However, the grandma was not aware of what had happened and did not confront the alleged 'kidnapper'.

She simply spoke briefly to the suspect who tried to make light of the situation and even commented how protective the youngster's older sister was, according to KUTV.

It was only when they went home and the 14-year-old told her aunt what happened that the family called the police.

The man, who was in Walmart for a total of four hours, later saw himself on a police appeal on the news and contacted officers.

He was interviewed but later released as cops said the video does not prove he engaged in any other suspicious activity.
