An attempted child abduction in Buffalo's west side was stopped, thanks to the watchful eyes of a parent.

Police received a call around 2:20 p.m. on Monday regarding an attempted abduction, and while police were quick to respond, they were unable to locate the vehicle of interest.

According to family members, 5-year-old Sherlianys Cegerra was waiting to cross the street when a blue van pulled up next to her and a black male tried to reach out and grab her. The girl's mother witnessed the attempt and started yelling for the person to stop.
