A Washington family whose 5-year old son was nearly abducted by a man in a gorilla suit is considering legal action against police for releasing the man after the bizarre incident, which was caught on camera.
The attempted abduction took place Aug. 2 inside a supermarket. Store surveillance video shows the man clearly coming up behind the boy and running off with him with his parents in hot pursuit.
The boy's abductor didn't make it very far with the boy. The parents caught up to him and held him until police could arrive.
The police questioned the man after the incident. He apparently told them it was a joke, and police let him go.
But the Santiagos don't think it was a joke and are still upset. Now they’re considering legal action against the police department for releasing the suspect.
With video.
