PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A man snatched a 9-year-old girl in Rhode Island moments after she got off a school bus, video shows.

The girl was seen walking home Monday afternoon in Providence when Luis Martinez-Romero, 34, climbed out of an SUV and ran up to her from behind, WBZ-TV reported.

Surveillance footage then showed the stranger, who was wearing a face mask, grab the girl, and carry her back to his vehicle before driving off.

The girl was returned about an hour later to the same area, police said.
