In a scene straight out of a nightmare, Texas police rescued a 6-month-old baby who’d been kidnapped and dumped in a ravine like trash. The whole thing was caught on bodycam – and it’s one of the most intense rescues you’ll ever see.
It all started in Fort Worth, when a man reportedly hijacked a woman’s car with her baby inside. What followed was a frantic police chase that led to his arrest. But when officers searched the vehicle – no baby.
That’s when panic kicked in.
The suspect eventually confessed he’d “left the baby somewhere.” Somewhere turned out to be a deep, grassy ravine. Officers rushed there in the dark, cutting through thick brush and uneven terrain, until they heard something: crying.
And then they saw it—a baby in a car seat, sitting alone near a drainage ditch. Bruised, terrified, but alive.
One officer scooped the child up and could be heard choking back emotion, saying, “We got you, buddy.” That moment? It’s goosebumps.
The baby was rushed to hospital but miraculously had no major injuries. The suspect? Now facing kidnapping and child endangerment charges – and social media has already labeled him the “ravine monster.”
The Fort Worth PD later released the full bodycam footage online, and people can’t stop watching. Thousands have praised the cops for their heroic effort, calling it “the stuff movies are made of – only this time, it was real.”
