This is the terrifying moment a man ran down a street after kidnapping a one-year-old child from a park.

The baby boy was in a park with his older brother and sister when he was snatched out of a buggy.

The man can be seen on CCTV running down a pavement with the 22-month-old child's brother Brenden, 10, and sister Delicia, 8, running after him.

Witnesses were alerted to the incident after seeing Delicia running and screaming after her younger brother.

The kidnapper then dropped the youngster in a vacant lot in Sprague, Connecticut, on Sunday before fleeing the scene.

Police have now released the CCTV footage in a desperate attempt to catch the man.

Speaking to KXLY.com, witness Dorothy Giddings said: "This little girl come running around the corner screaming her head off.

“I told that little girl, I said, 'Honey, you did exactly what you needed to do scream your head off.' That's what saved that baby. Her screaming and us running.”
