WILMINGTON, LOS ANGELES — New video shows a disturbing sexual assault and attempted kidnapping of a young girl walking down the street in a Los Angeles neighborhood.

The images show a man walking behind the 11-year-old girl on the street and sidewalk in a residential area.

He approaches her from behind and gropes her while she tries to break free.

Suddenly you hear a neighbor yelling, “Hey, leave her alone!”
