The Hollister Police Department is looking for a man in his 30s after they alleged he tried to pry an 8-month-old baby from the child’s mother on June 9.
Just after 1 p.m., police alleged the man went to a home in the first block of Vista Lane to ask for information about a boat that was for sale. The woman, with the baby in her arms, went outside to show the man the boat. As they approached it, the man lunged for the child and demanded him from the mother.
She wrestled away from the suspect and ran inside her house before he could take the baby. The man did not pursue her, police said. Instead, he fled the area in his black four-door sedan. The woman did not see the man’s direction.
The suspect is described as Hispanic; 5 feet, 7 inches tall; with black hair; and an earring in his right ear. Police have no other suspect information.
Anyone with more information should call the Hollister Police Department at (831) 636-4330. Persons wishing to remain anonymous may call WeTIP at (800) 78- CRIME.
