A 56-year-old man in Miami was arrested after allegedly kidnapping a young boy who was playing soccer outside his home.
Authorities report that Jose Reynaldo Martinez-Reyes, a complete stranger with no ties to the neighborhood or the child, lured the boy, Jake, away while he was innocently playing soccer outside his trailer park home. 
The predator offered the child a toy to gain his trust and led him over a mile away, NBC Miami reported.

The abduction happened in a brief window of opportunity when Jake’s older brother, 15, stepped inside the house.
Martinez-Reyes took advantage of the situation, walking with Jake to a nearby Family Dollar store and then attempting to take him further under the guise of not having money for a toy.
The nightmare unfolded after Jake’s 15-year-old brother briefly went inside their home to use the bathroom. Realizing his younger brother was missing, the teen launched a frantic search, eventually spotting Martinez-Reyes walking with Jake more than a mile away.
The confrontation turned violent when Martinez-Reyes, in a desperate attempt to maintain control of the child, falsely claimed in Spanish that the boy was his son and tried to drag him away.
Displaying remarkable courage, Jake’s brother freed the child and secured him in a nearby vehicle while detaining Martinez-Reyes until police arrived.
