An Oregon man was arrested Sunday after police say he tried to grab a young girl at a park in Grants Pass.
The incident happened just before 8 p.m. at Riverside Park. According to Fox News, Martin, 31, allegedly followed the girl and her mother through the park and then tried to pull the girl off a swing. The girl and her mother told police they feared for their safety.
Officers detained Martin when they arrived and later arrested him. He was held on charges of attempted kidnapping, menacing, harassment and disorderly conduct. Police said he was not linked to other reports of stalking in the area. As with any case, the charges are allegations and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
Police are urging parents to stay alert and keep an eye on their children and their surroundings when out in public.
