A 15-year-old apprentice driver was reportedly caught trying to cut the throat of a 3-year-old girl in the city of Touba, Senegal.
According to reports, an auto garage manager became suspicious of the teenager after he found him walking hastily with the girl towards an abandoned building at about 5pm on Friday, February 4.
A short while later, the manager of the garage alerted two of his apprentices to the suspicious movement of the teenager.
The apprentices began to quietly monitor the teenager who took the young girl to a deserted part of the abandoned building.
They were shocked when they followed him to his hideout to find him holding a knife over the little girl.
The apprentices took the suspect to the police station where he was questioned.
According to the Touba Brigade, the little girl, identified by her initials, KS, to protect her identity, was rescued and has now been reunited with her parents KY and DM, whose names have also been abbreviated to hide their identities.
