A 9-year-old girl escaped a masked kidnapper as she walked to school in Queens — then ran to her mom, who works as a school crossing guard, cops and sources said.
The girl was walking at the southwest corner of 34th Avenue and 93rd Street in North Corona around 7:40 a.m. when the gray-haired creep in a black mask rolled up to her in his black sedan, authorities said.
“Come inside the car,” the man called out to the youngster, according to police.
When the girl refused, he allegedly got out of his car and tried to grab her, but she ran to her mom, who works at a nearby school, police sources said.
The would-be kidnapper drove off, heading north on 93rd Street, cops said.
The girl’s mom called the cops, but the suspect was still on the loose Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.
He is described as about 5 feet 9.
The disturbing crime happened weeks after a blade-wielding creep tried to kidnap a 2-year-old girl at Atlantic Avenue and 109th Street in Richmond Hill, snarling at the tot’s mom, “Give me your baby or I’ll stab you!,” authorities and sources said.
The suspect, Peter Vonderhofen, 32, was arrested about 30 minutes later, cops said.
