Police have charged a 23-year-old man after he tried to grab a woman off the street near Diamond Head in broad daylight, a scary case that's bad news for neighborhood safety but ended without serious injury.

• Surveillance video caught a man sneaking up behind a woman and carrying her toward the street before bystanders stepped in and she got away.
• The suspect was charged with kidnapping and held on $500,000 bail.
• Police say this kind of attack is rare for the area, but the video has understandably spooked residents.
• Self-defense experts note that fighting back by dropping your weight, locking your legs, and resisting being lifted makes it much harder for an attacker to carry someone away.

Outlook: Police are urging people to stay alert in public, and the case will move forward through the courts.
