Police say a 12-year-old Florida boy jumped from a moving vehicle to get away from a man after accepting a ride home from school with him.
A Boynton Beach police spokeswoman said witnesses followed the white truck after seeing the boy jump out, eventually blocking it and detaining the driver until police arrived.
Timothy Miller, 26, is charged with kidnapping, child neglect and resisting arrest.
The boy had abrasions on his forehead, arms and legs. He told investigators he was walking home from a school bus stop when Miller offered a ride. He said Miller then asked him for drugs and looked at him strangely. He opened the door and jumped out.
