The latest from NY1:
According to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, the man in the above surveillance video put his arms around the boy, saying something like “you’re coming with me kid."

The suspect is described as a black man, 45 to 55 years old, with a slim build, about 5'6" to 5'8" tall, and was wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt with writing on the front and faded black jeans.

Looks to me much more like a mentally ill person acting out than a real child abduction attempt.
Where was this guy going to go with a kid, running down a Manhattan avenue in broad daylight?
This is terrifying. I hope they catch the guy. Channel 2 and 7 were at the school a little while ago. Hoping with the widespread press they'll find the guy.
