A creep attempted to snatch a 4-year-old girl from her stroller on a Staten Island street Saturday afternoon, cops said.

The suspect hopped out of a black Toyota Prius at Mapleton Avenue and Olympia Boulevard in Midland Beach around 5:20 p.m. and tried to grab the little girl as her 30-year-old mom pushed her in the stroller, according to police.

The frantic mother screamed, prompting the suspect to hop back in the Prius and take off, police said.

It wasn’t clear whether the man knew the family, or if he said anything during the near-kidnapping.
