A carjacker did not anticipate the quick thinking of an 8-year-old boy, who is being celebrated for saving his sister from a potential kidnapping.
The 8-year-old was not about to let a strange man drive off with his 10-year-old sister in their great-grandmother's car.
"This little guy is a hero. No question," Middletown Police Chief Rodney Muterspaw said in a Friday statement on Facebook. Singh had grabbed onto Skylar's hoodie, yanking the 10-year-old into the middle of a terrifying tug of war between her 8-year-old brother and a 24-year-old stranger. "I fell out and I ran back to the car and I got my sister out," Chance said to WCPO.
Not knowing Chance and Skylar had escaped out the back door, Coburn clung onto the car until Singh accelerated to the point where she couldn't keep up. "Good Morning America" reported that Singh was under the influence of heroin and was at the hospital for treatment. He's now charged with two counts of kidnapping, grand theft and felonious assault "for dragging Nita," police said. He is in custody on $200,000 bond, according to WCPO. His next court appearance is scheduled for Friday. "He pulled his sister out of the car with no concern for his own safety," Muterspaw said.
