Bond denied for man charged with attempting kidnapping of teen in South Miami

On Saturday, a guy who is suspected of attempting to kidnap a 16-year-old girl in South Miami made an appearance before a court. Miami-Dade jail records indicated that 32-year-old Brian Gamboa is charged with attempted kidnapping and child assault. Gamboa attempted to grab a lady outside a hospital on Thursday, but the woman and the 16-year-old victim were able to repel him, a detective told a judge during his court appearance. The investigator stated, “The act itself of trying to take the person from a hospital, outside, a completely random, she’s thrown on the ground, he gets on top of her, he has zip ties, he tells her to be quiet and to go with him, he continuously tries to grab her and take her to his vehicle.” “That in and of itself falls entirely under that statute in the plain meaning of terrorize.” Gamboa’s bond was finally refused by the judge. As she yelled for assistance, the 16-year-old allegedly struck Gamboa in the head with her iPhone. On Monday, Gamboa will have another hearing.
