Girl, 11, smears blue slime on would-be kidnapper to help police identify him

Guardian, 21 May 2021
An 11-year-old girl in Florida fought off an attempted kidnapper and smeared the blue slime she had been playing with on his arms so police could identify him. Security camera video shows Alyssa Bonal, of Pensacola, waiting for the school bus when a white van passes her. The van returned a minute later and stopped before the driver jumped out and ran at the girl, dragging her back toward the van. When police later arrested a suspect, his arms were still streaked with blue dye
