    The Canadian Press, 17 Aug, 2017 11:35 AM
      PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — A 35-year-old Prince George, B.C., man faces several charges over allegations he tried to abduct two children in the city.
       
      Police say they were called Tuesday to a disturbance in a playground where a man and woman were fighting.
       
      The man ran off as police approached and they say they were told the man attempted to take a child from the playground before the woman intervened.
       
      Police say they caught up with the man and arrested him a short while later.
       
      After the arrest, police say they received another report that a man with the same description had tried to take a young boy earlier in the day but his mother fought off the man.
       
      Kenneth John of Prince George faces two counts of kidnapping and one count each of assault and obstructing a police officer.
