Kunzhou police accused a man of trying to kidnap an 8-year-old girl, the Daily Mail reported.
On Thursday afternoon, an 36-year-old man in (Emerald), Queensland, tried to kidnap an 8-year-old girl. Live surveillance video recorded the whole process of the event.
According to surveillance video released by the police, at about 4: 50 p.m. on the same day, a female driver with two children arrived outside the Emmerald Hotel (Emerald Hotel) in (Clermont St), Clement Street, and she parked her car in the parking lot behind the hotel. Then one of the children got out of the car and went to the hotel. Another 8-year-old girl was left in the car.

A white light truck entered the parking lot and parked on the other side, disembarking a man. The man followed the mother and son to the hotel door, returned, and found the girl in the back seat of the vehicle.
The man went back to his car, pulled something out of the car, and went to the girl`s vehicle, where there was no one else around the parking lot.
Unnoticed, the man walked to the right of the girl`s vehicle, opened the door and tried to catch the girl.
The surveillance video was silent, but police said the girl started shouting. In addition, a hotel employee was just pulling the cart into the parking lot, so the suspect quickly returned to his car and drove away.

It is reported that at the time of the incident, the girl was left alone by her mother in the car for only 30 seconds.
Kunzhou police arrested the 36-year-old suspect and filed a complaint against him. The man will appear in a court in McKay (Mackay) on Saturday.
Authorities released the video, hoping to remind other parents to watch their children at all times.
