The girl's older brother witnessed the incident and he and a friend got the girl out of the vehicle. 13-year-old /*Harvey Carrasco*/ is being hailed as a hero for his quick thinking that may well have saved his sister's life.
"I looked up and saw a big man grabbing my sister and trying to put her in the trunk. So me and my friend ran up to try to help her," said Harvey. "So my friend went one way and I went the other way 'cause there was a car. And so my friend took my little sister out of the car and I was trying to stop the man. But he just went to his car and I tried to take away his keys, but I thought what if he had a gun? So I couldn't risk it ... So then he just drove off."
