A six-year-old Miami girl has told how she fought off a would-be kidnapper by biting him.
The girl, identified by her first name Ah’lyric, was playing with her siblings in the courtyard of their Little Haiti apartment complex last Wednesday when she noticed a white Range Rover SUV, according to a police report obtained by NBC Miami.
After the other children went inside, a man approached her and grabbed her arm and tried to pull her away, according to police.
When she fought back, the suspect, later identified by police as 32-year-old Leonardo Venegas, allegedly attempted to pick her up.
Ah’lyric then bit the suspect’s arm, causing him to drop her. The police report states that the suspect slapped her and ran off.
The girl told NBC Miami that she managed to escape and ran inside where her mother’s spouse called 911.
She said had been taught how to defend herself by her mother.
“I bit him,” she told the station.
Her mother Teshia McGill said she was relieved that the girl knew how to “fight back”.
