Laraque said the baseball players were alerted to the attempted abduction after hearing screams nearby. The game immediately stopped and a group ran over to see what happened.

About 20 to 30 people surrounded the suspect to ensure he couldn't leave the park until he was in police custody.

"I just wanted to make sure that if he got up that I was going to tackle him right away," said Laraque, who racked up 1,126 penalty minutes over his 13-year NHL career.

Laraque described the incident as "crazy," adding that it made him feel "a little scared" as a father.
