Watch the terrifying seconds during which a would-be kidnapper tries to abduct a 10-year-old girl on street in BROAD DAYLIGHT

Police have released a shocking surveillance  tape showing a 10-year-old girl who escaped from a creepy suspect who tried to  abduct her as she walked home.

A $10,000 reward is being offered for the  arrest and conviction of a suspect in the attempted abduction of the girl in  south Philadelphia.

Police said the man followed the girl in his  car on Tuesday as she was walking with her 2-year-old brother in the Whitman  neighbourhood.

Danger looming: The girl and her two-year-old brother  can be seen walking down the street as the suspect’s car is parked ahead of  them

Stalker: As the children turn the corner, the suspect  can be seen getting out of his vehicle and following them

As the children walk past, the man can be  seen exiting a white vehicle and following them.

He then put his hand over the girl’s mouth  and tried to carry her away.

Police said the girl struggled and then fell,  and the man tried to abduct her again before fleeing.

Investigators released surveillance video on  Wednesday, and Mayor Michael Nutter asked for help from the public, calling the  events ‘totally outrageous.’

He said: ‘Our children must be able to walk  around their own neighbourhood’ without fear of such crimes.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male  30-40 years old, between 5’9″ and 6’0″ tall, with a thin build, short black  curly hair and a thin moustache.

He was wearing a black short-sleeve T-shirt,  and blue pants.

Ordeal: Police said the girl struggled and then fell,  and the man tried to abduct her again before eventually fleeing back to his car  and driving off

He was driving a late 1990′s-early 2000′s  white mid-sized Sedan, possibly a Mitsubishi or Nissan – with a black scuff mark  on driver’s side rear bumper and dent on left front fender wheel  well.

Police urge anyone with information to call  215.686.TIPS (8477).
