Police say a mother who saw her 5-year-old being abducted chased the suspect down and crashed her vehicle into his car, triggering a manhunt.
Authorities say the incident unfolded last evening when the woman saw her child being forced into a car in Albuquerque's North Valley. She jumped into her vehicle and gave chase for about 11 kilometres, unaware the man had pushed the girl out of the car shortly after grabbing her. The girl was not injured.
The mother followed the suspect and finally rammed into his car near an intersection. He fled on foot.
Police are still searching for the man, who they say matches the description of a suspect who sexually assaulted and returned a girl in the same neighbourhood last week.
