Michael Gadomski, 61, is accused of following two juvenile girls into the bathroom at a church on Marlboro Street and preventing them from leaving, Hudson police said in a news release. Authorities did not specify which church.

The incident happened around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, according to police.

Police alleged that Gadomski engaged in “similar unwanted activity” with the same girls in the past. The juveniles were unharmed following Saturday’s incident, they said.

“I applaud these individuals for reporting this incident and for their bravery during this process,” Police Chief Richard DiPersio said in a statement. “I would also like to commend our officers for their professionalism in helping to keep our community safe.”

Gadomski was arrested without incident and charged with two counts of kidnapping a child and one count each of assault and disorderly conduct. It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney who could comment on the charges.

Gadomski is scheduled for arraignment in Marlborough District Court Monday.
