Waterloo Regional Police have arrested and laid charges in an attempted abduction that occurred in Kitchener last week.
Police say a man approached a family waiting for a city bus in the Weber Street and Queen Street North area of the city on the evening of April 17.
According to police, the couple was waiting at the bus stop while their ten-month-old daughter was playing in a nearby snowbank when the man approached the child and picked her up.
