Deputies are investigating a possible attempted kidnapping Wednesday in Valencia, according to officials.

The incident occurred around 11 a.m.  in Valencia, said Sgt. Wayne Waterman with the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s station, near the Valencia Town Center.

A male white transient wearing a green shirt attempted to take a stroller with a child in it, he said, on the southwest corner of Mcbean Parkway and Magic Mountain Parkway.

“The victim, a woman in her 20’s, reported that she was stopped at the corner of the above intersection with her two small children in a jogging stroller when an unknown suspect approached her from behind,” said Shirley Miller, Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station public information officer. “There was a struggle that ensued between the victim and the suspect in an effort to gain control of the stroller.”

“The mother of the child was able to take the stroller back, and the suspect fled on foot,” Waterman said.

Both the child and mother were fine, he said.

No arrests have been made.

Anybody with information about the incident is encouraged to call the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station at 661-255-1121.
