A carjacker was not anticipating the quick-thinking of an 8-year-old boy, who is now being celebrated for saving his older sister from a potential kidnapping.
Chance Blue, left, with his sister Skylar Weaver. By Timothy Bella Timothy Bella Deputy editor for Morning Mix Email Bio Follow April 29 at 6:27 AM The 8-year-old was not about to let a strange man drive off with his 10-year-old sister in their great-grandmother’s car.
“This little guy is a hero. No question,” Middletown Police Chief Rodney Muterspaw said in a Friday statement on Facebook. Singh had grabbed onto Skylar’s hoodie, yanking the 10-year-old into the middle of a terrifying tug of war between her 8-year-old brother and a 24-year-old stranger.“I fell out and I ran back to the car and I got my sister out,” Chance said to WCPO.
Not knowing Chance and Skylar had escaped out the back door, Coburn clung onto the car until Singh accelerated to the point where she couldn’t keep up. “Good Morning America” reported that Singh was under the influence of heroin and was at the hospital for treatment. He’s now charged with two counts of kidnapping, grand theft and felonious assault “for dragging Nita,” police said. He is in custody on $200,000 bond, according to WCPO. His next court appearance is scheduled for Friday.
“While I was speaking to him, I’m looking at him, and it’s just this little kid and he did something extraordinary,” Kirby told WKRC. He added to WCPO: “It shows how extremely brave he was and how much he loves his sister.”
