Woman bit Irving attempted kidnapping suspect during struggle, arrest affidavit says

Days after the Irving Police Department said a man tried to kidnap a woman at a local park, officers now say a suspect is in custody.

The alleged attempted kidnapping unfolded Monday evening near Shady Grove Trail Park, along West Vilbig Street. The department said the man reportedly tried to kidnap a 22-year-old woman,  but was later seen on camera running from the scene.

On Saturday, Irving Police said several tips led them to arrest 29-year-old Isaac Guevara. He is now charged with attempted aggravated kidnapping. 

The department thanked the public for the tips.

Guevara's arrest affidavit, obtained Tuesday by CBS News Texas, revealed more details about what reportedly happened. The affidavit claims Guevara grabbed the woman while she was trying to tie her shoe, and he allegedly ordered her to give him her hand. Guevara also allegedly told the victim, "If you move or scream, I'll stab you. Turn around."

The affidavit claims the woman grabbed Guevara's hand in response, believing he had a knife in his pocket. During an ensuing struggle, the affidavit says the woman bit Guevara's upper chest, and he released her to run away.

The affidavit also notes Guevara reportedly confessed to detectives during an interview.
