A Mercer County man was arrested last week after he allegedly kidnapped two children and assaulted one of them.
According to the Mercer State Police, 51-year-old Kyle Selden allegedly kidnapped two unidentified children in Coolspring Township on Thursday. Also during this time, Selden hit and injured one of the children, who was under the age of six.
A specific motive for the kidnapping and assault is unknown, but authorities say that Selden may have kidnapped the children to terrorize them or another.
Selden was placed in the Mercer County jail on a $100,000 bond. He faces charges including aggravated and simple assault, kidnapping of a minor, and endangering the welfare of children, among others.
