At that point, the suspect allegedly saw a woman holding a baby, grabbed the child and walked to a different part of the house. 

According to the report, Montana and his wife confronted the woman and wrestled the baby away from her. She fled the scene but was captured by police, who happened to be in the area for an unrelated matter, just a few blocks away.
