Men Held Knife to Father’s Throat, Briefly Kidnapped 2-Year-Old

Police are investigating an armed home invasion Wednesday afternoon by three men, one of whom attempted to kidnap a 2-year-old child after ransacking a Manchester, New Hampshire, residence, authorities said.

The resident told police a man held a knife to his throat while two accomplices burglarized his home. One of the suspects then grabbed the victim’s young child as they fled the scene, he said.

The father told police he was able to chase after the perpetrators and grab the child before the suspects entered a car.

Police said they couldn’t comment on whether the suspects were known to the victims, citing an ongoing investigation. Further information would be available Friday, a police spokesperson said.
