司机智救公共图书馆被劫孩子


A quick-thinking bus driver in Northern California was awarded with helping in the rescue of a three-year-old boy who was reported kidnapped on Friday, the police said.

The boy was with his mother in the children's section of a public library in Milpitas, California, a San Francisco suburb, at about 10:45 a.m. local time when a man wearing a black sweatshirt reportedly kidnapped him, Milpitas Police Chief Steve Pangelinan said during a news conference. The reported abduction set off an alert, describing the boy and suspect to area of law enforcement and public transportation agencies, Pangelinan said. About an hour after the reported abduction, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority bus driver Tim Watson saw a man and child he thought may fit the description authorities provided, Watson told reporters.

Watson created an obstacle to stop the bus in Fremont, about 12 miles north from the library, at a bus station and walk the aisle under the guise of looking for a lost backpack, according to the San Francisco Chronicle

The suspect, Alfonso Edington, 23, stepped off the bus with the child in his arms, police said, and struggled with officers before releasing the child. The child was not harmed at all, police said. Watson saw the boy was wearing red shoes, fitting what have been described, the newspaper reported. 

“The bus driver is a hero, an absolute hero,” Pangelinan said. Pangelinan added that investigators were working to determine a motive and what the suspect was planning to do with the child. "There are so many unanswered questions," he said.
