A 22-year-old man has been charged following an alleged attempted child abduction in Surrey that police say was interrupted by witnesses.

According to Surrey police, officers were called to the 8100 block of 136A Street at about 6:40 p.m. Saturday after reports that a stranger approached a child who was playing in a residential driveway.

Witnesses told investigators the man allegedly picked up the child before bystanders intervened. Police said the suspect then released the child and left the area.

A person matching the suspect's description was detained by members of the public nearby and later taken into police custody. The child was not injured, according to police.

The accused is facing one count of abduction of a person under the age of 14 and one count of possession of a prohibited weapon. Police said he remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
