The police are trying to locate a man who allegedly tried to kidnap a baby in a stroller from a mother in Corona last week.
A 29-year-old woman was pushing her 10-month-old child in a stroller near 43rd Avenue and 111st Street on Nov. 21 when an unknown man approached her at 8:35 p.m. The man placed his hand on the stroller and demanded the mother give him her child, police said.
