The criminal defense attorneys at the Law Offices of Daniel E. Kann have learned that prosecutors have charged a La Crescenta man with assault, battery, and attempted kidnapping after he allegedly tried to abduct two women in the San Fernando Valley.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the suspect attempted to abduct two women: one in North Hollywood and another in Valley Village. The LAPD said both the women fought the man and managed to escape. They also indicated that they were looking for a third victim the suspect may have intended to abduct.
The 37 year-old-suspect was arrested in the La Crescenta-Montrose area while he was allegedly following another woman who was jogging on a side-street. The Los Angeles Daily News reports that investigators believe the man may have been involved in an attempted abduction in the past from a school in the Glendale/Burbank area.
He is currently being held on a $2.2 million bail.
