Video: Girl Escapes Kidnap Attempt In Walmart

Dramatic CCTV footage has emerged of the moment a convicted killer allegedly tried to kidnap a young girl at a Walmart store.

Seven-year-old Brittany Baxter was grabbed by the man at the store in Bremen, Georgia, USA, on Wednesday.

In the footage a man can be seen grabbing the girl and trying to carry her away through an aisle of the large store.

But cool-headed Brittany remembered to use evasion tactics taught during a school 'stranger danger' lesson.

"I was looking at princess and fairy stuff," she said.

"I tried to kick as hard as I could. You try to get away and tell somebody you trust."

Brittany's mum Georgeann Baxter added: "She said that a man had tried to kidnap her.

"He had picked her up his hand over her mouth, but she was kicking and screaming. He then dropped her and ran out."

Local police quickly examined the store's CCTV footage and were able to trace the car after its numberplate was captured on film.

Thomas A Woods, who was on parole for voluntary manslaughter, now faces a charge of attempted kidnapping.

The 25-year-old denied the abduction attempt as he spoke to reporters as he was led into jail.

Bremen police chief Keith Pesnell said of the footage: "It's chilling to know how quick something can happen.

"It actually sent chills up me when I saw that."
