CBS Philly reports that sources say that clues connected to the car the suspect was seen entering after the attack led police to Figueroa-Fagot, 33, who is facing multiple charges, including aggravated assault and attempted kidnapping.
The video footage, released by police Wednesday, shows a man approach the girl from behind in broad daylight as she walked in her neighborhood with her toddler brother on Tuesday. The man puts his hand over the girl's mouth and tries to carry her away. But she struggles and her brother screams.
The attempted abduction lasts only seconds before the man runs to his car and drives off.
