A terrifying kidnapping attempt at a Chucky’s gas station in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, was foiled by 16-year-old high school wrestler Canaan Bower, who used his athletic skills to pin the perpetrator until police arrived.

Bower was across the street from Chucky’s, pumping gas at a Circle K station when he saw blows being exchanged between the would-be-kidnapper, 22-year-old Daniel Arroyo Beltran, and a mother of three children, aged 9, 2, and 1.
