A Pennsylvania man is charged with child endangerment after he allegedly tried to abduct a child from a Cumberland County Wawa.
The 7-year-old boy was using the men’s bathroom Sunday, while his mother was in the women’s room at the Dorchester Wawa in Maurice River when it happened, according to police.
Cannon went into the bathroom at about 12:20 p.m. and offered the child candy to leave with him, according to the report.
When the boy declined, the man grabbed the boy’s arm and tried to remove him from the store, police said. The child was able to break free and ran to his mother.
The man then left the store.
Video shows the man walking into the store and then the child — whose face is blurred to protect his identity — runs past the door and the man is seen leaving.
Cannon is charged with third-degree endangering. He was released from jail Friday.
