Denver police Tuesday arrested a man on suspicion of child enticement after the child took a photo of him as he approached her three days earlier.
Police arrested Mohammed Al Hamdani, 39, in the 1600 block of South Broadway without incident, Detective John White said.
The 11-year-old girl told detectives she was at James A. Bible Park at South Quebec Street and East Yale Avenue on Saturday when Al Hamdani allegedly approached her and tried to lure her to his vehicle, police said. However, the youngster, who had a cellphone, snapped a photo of the man before the two started walking to his vehicle. As they neared the car the youngster ran away from him, police said.

This little girl was very lucky to have escape a predator.
They need to let the other prisoners know what he tried to do.
Then he will really enjoy his new roomates and their friendly helping hand.
By the way I think the best thing that could happen castrate him and save another child from the creeps like this.
