A Jamestown woman has been charged by Ellicott police after an alleged kidnapping attempt on Saturday.

Angelea A. Luszcak, 33, of Jamestown, was charged with second-degree attempted kidnapping, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree harassment after an incident Saturday after Ellicott police responded to a report of a woman attempting to kidnap a child in the area. It’s alleged Luszcak approached an 8-year-old and grabbed onto the child’s coat. Luszcak then allegedly started to drag the youth down the alley and away from her home. Another youth, according to a police report, witnessed the incident and reportedly ran into a house to get an adult. The youth was able to get away from Luszcak and a parent came out to assist the child before Luszcak fled the area.

When police arrived on scene she was located shortly after and charged.

Luszcak was taken to the Chautauqua County Jail until she could be arraigned. She will be in Ellicott Town Court later.
