A 70 year old man has been detained in Málaga for allegedly trying to abduct two girls, aged 5 years and 7 years, from a shopping centre in the city.
The two young girs were at the shopping centre with their aunt, but that did not deter the man from trying to abduct them. He took the girsl by the hand and tried to lead them away.
One of the girls started to scream and the man tried to put his hand over her mouth, at the same time being forced to let go of the other girl who took the opportunity to call a security guard.
The security guard detained the alleged abductor until the police arrived. Security cameras showed that the man had been hanging around the shopping centre for some time.
