Ottawa Man Facing Kidnapping Charge
An Ottawa man has been arraigned on a charge of attempting to kidnap a six-year-old girl at a store in suburban Montreal.

Michael Fisher currently resides at an Ottawa mental hospital but is accused of visiting a Montreal Wal-Mart Sunday where he tried to lure a child away from her mother. Police in Montreal say the mother had lost site of her daughter for mere moments when the incident occurred.

The mother screamed for help when she saw her daughter with a man who was pulling her hair and wrist. The 35-year-old was arrested a short time later. A Montreal court heard Fisher currently resides at the Royal Ottawa Hospital and that he faced assault and kidnapping charges a few years ago but was found not criminally responsible. He's faced a slew of other charges since 1999 that include mischief, arson and assault.

Fisher has yet to enter a plea but the Crown is expected to oppose bail when he does. He returns to court Tuesday for a bail hearing.

Stay tuned for the latest.
