A 2nd suspect has been arrested by police in connection to an attempted kidnapping and robbery in Niagara Falls.

Police say on June 27th, three men were standing outside a bar on Main Street, when two of them, using a gun, tried to force the third into a vehicle.

The victim refused, and was able to escape, but not before receiving non life-threatening injuries, and having some jewelry stolen.

He was held in custody with a future court date.

About a week earlier, police arrested a 22-year old man.
