A child was nearly abducted in broad daylight on the city's North Side. Chicago police have released photos of the suspect wanted in the crime.
Surveillance video captured at least four men walking past the scene and failing to help the girl until a group of heroes stepped in.
Security footage captured the moment bystanders intervened to help a mother who was trying to prevent a man from driving away with her children.
The teen knew she had to get out of the situation quickly, and some nearby store owners were ready to help.
The 19-year-old is accused of battering an 18-year-old mother and kidnapping her baby girl, Chicago police said.
A 2-month-old baby is safe, after someone grabbed her from her mother Friday afternoon on the North Side, Chicago police said.
