- Thomas Tracy

A CREEP with a cross tattooed on his forehead tried to snatch a little girl off a Queens street, police said Friday.

The 12-year-old child was walking with her mom through a Key Food parking lot on Jamaica Ave. near Hempstead Ave. in Queens Village when the man grabbed her by the arm at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, cops said.

“You’re coming with me!” the man screamed in Spanish as he tried to pull the girl away from her mother, according to police.

The stunned mom held onto her daughter and tugged her out of the stranger’s clutches, cops said.

The would-be kidnapper ran off on Jamaica Ave. toward 212th St. He is described as a Hispanic man with a cross tattoo and braids and was wearing a red Tshirt, police said.

Anyone with informatio­n is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidenti­al.
