FRESNO, Calif. — An 8-year-old girl who was abducted while playing outside a Fresno home escaped from her captor Tuesday morning after a driver recognized the suspect’s vehicle and cut it off, police said.

The child was found in Fresno about 11 hours after she disappeared around 8:30 p.m. Monday, triggering a statewide Amber Alert. Police arrested Gregorio Gonzalez, 24, who they said was a member of the Bulldogs street gang.

Police said the driver recognized the truck he was following from media reports that showed surveillance video of the kidnapper’s vehicle.

When the driver saw a girl’s head in the window, he cut the truck off and forced it to stop, police said. That’s when the suspect pushed her out of the car and drove off.

The girl was taken to a hospital in good condition, but police later confirmed she had been sexually assaulted.

Police said the girl was playing with six other girls when a stranger approached and lured her into his pickup. Two adults who saw what was happening shouted for the girls to run away. But the man grabbed the victim and drove away as witnesses chased the vehicle, police said.
