A man who handed himself into police over an attempted kidnapping in Victoria's east has been released without charge.
A woman narrowly avoided every mother's worst nightmare after foiling a would-be abductor from stealing her daughter off an in-ground trampoline last month.
The 30-year-old woman was watching her 18-month-old play in Gippsland's Yinnar about lunchtime on May 5, when a man approached, snatched the child and began walking away.
She chased the man and wrestled her daughter back before the would-be abductor ran towards the park's public toilets.
The mother rushed the child to her car and called triple zero.
A 45-year-old Moe man handed himself into police on Thursday morning after a search was announced along with an image of the alleged perpetrator.
He was interviewed but released on Thursday afternoon pending further inquiries.
