Australian DJ charged after boy, 2, snatched off San Francisco street
An Australian DJ has been charged with kidnapping and child endangerment after he was caught by bystanders when he allegedly attempted to snatch a two-year-old boy on a busy San Francisco street.
Roscoe Bradley Holyoake, a 34-year-old from Perth known as DJ Roski, is being held at the San Francisco County Jail on $US500,000 ($NZ739,000) bond.
Police say a mother reported Holyoake tried to grab her son while they were walking near the corner of Market and Noe streets just after midday on Friday, April 12.
The mother was holding her son's hand and carrying a baby in a front pack.
Bystanders described to San Francisco TV station KTVU how Holyoake had the toddler in his arms and the mother, who was screaming "Police, police, help me" refused to let her son go.
