Police arrest a man suspected of trying to kidnap a 9-year old girl.
Brawley police say Emilio Mario Rivas attempted to grab the young girl while she was walking home from school with a friend Wednesday.
They say it happened around 3:20p.m. in the 1000 block of I Street in Brawley.
Police say after the girls ran away from Rivas, one of their fathers returned to the area, and a fight ensued between the two.
BPD says they were notified about the incident but when they arrived Rivas had fled in a taxi.
They say with the help of the local cab companies, officers were able to locate Rivas in the area of Brawley Avenue and 1st Street.
After Rivas was positively identified, he was booked into Imperial County Jail.
Brawley police say this incident is not related to the attempted kidnapping incident on I street last Friday.
However, they say people should always remain vigilant to their surrounding and report any suspicious activity to the police.
