A man who tried to kidnap a child at an Atlanta park on Wednesday was taken into custody after the boy fought back, officials said.
DeKalb County Police told FOX 5 Atlanta that Sydrick Heard, 61, grabbed a 7-year-old boy as he walked by the port-a-potties at a park off Wilkinson Drive in southeast Atlanta.
The boy's mother told cops the child hit Heard, who then ran away.
