Good Samaritans stopped the attempted kidnapping of a 2-year-old boy by an Australian DJ from a busy San Francisco street, police said today.
Police arrested Roscoe Bradley Holyoake, 34, of Perth, Australia, on Friday.
Australia media reports Holyoake is a popular DJ known as DJ Roski.
The toddler was holding his mother's hand while they walked in the Castro neighbourhood when Holyoake snatched the boy, San Francisco police say.
Holyoake ran for about half a block with the mother and several bystanders in pursuit before the bystanders grabbed and held him until police arrived.
