A man called authorities Monday to report that a woman had grabbed his son and tried to run away from him.
The father punched the woman and got his child back, according to police.
Authorities identified the attempted kidnapper as Gina A. Ricard, 53. Officials said after the incident, she went to a nearby fire station and told them that she tried to stop a kidnapping.
