The Civil Police of Amazonas are currently investigating a disturbing attempted kidnapping incident that occurred on Sunday, in the Presidente Vargas neighborhood, located in the South Zone of Manaus. Security cameras recorded the moment when the young girl was seen playing outside a house before stepping off the curb and walking closer to the street, where the incident took place.
