Charges have been dropped against a man accused of attempting to kidnap a 2-year-old boy at a Walmart in Georgia. Mahendra Patel, of Kennesaw, was arrested and subsequently indicted by a grand jury on attempted kidnapping, battery and assault charges stemming from an incident reported at a Walmart in Acworth on March 18.

Charges against Mahendra Patel, the man accused of attempting to kidnap a toddler from an Acworth Walmart earlier this year, were formally dismissed Wednesday after prosecutors moved to drop the case.

Mahendra Patel was arrested in March after a mother claimed he tried to take her 2-year-old child while she was shopping at the Walmart off Cobb Parkway.
