Hamilton police are investigating two other incidents where a child abduction suspect may have had interactions with young girls.
A 19-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday after police were called about a child being taken from her mother’s side while they were waiting at a crosswalk near Jackson Square. Witnesses intervened and the mother was able to regain contact with the four-year-old, police said.
The suspect, whom police have not named, was charged with child abduction.
