A man was arrested for allegedly attempting to kidnap a 5-year-old boy outside Katz’ Deli in Lower Manhattan on Sunday, sources said.

Eric Visa, 46, approached the child as he was walking outside the famous Lower East Side eatery with his family shortly after midnight, according to law enforcement sources.

The creep, who was wearing a top hat, grabbed the boy and walked away before the mother noticed and chased him down, the sources said.

Visa was tracked down by police and arrested at about 3 a.m. He was charged with attempted kidnapping.

A call to Visa was not immediately returned on Sunday night.
