This is the terrifying moment a human trafficker spots a girl and tries to abduct her in broad daylight.
CCTV footage captured in China shows a female suspect watching several children playing together near a shop in Pingdingshan, Henan province, around 3pm on Friday.
A few minutes later, the woman uses a toy to lure a little girl away from her group of friends, then calmly carries her away.
The incident was reported to police by the 3-year-old girl's father after he tried to find his daughter, according to City Report.
