NEW BRITAIN - A court interpreter was charged by state police Monday with attempted kidnapping after he allegedly tried to lure a 12-year-old girl out of New Britain Superior Court in September.
Mahfuz Alhamid, 28, of Meriden, is accused of asking a girl waiting for her mother, who was having a probation meeting, if she would kiss him and go out to the parking lot with him.
The girl became frightened and approached a stranger for help at the courthouse, a warrant for Alhamid’s arrest said.
The man she asked for help was wearing a court-ordered electronic ankle bracelet and at first refused to get involved, the warrant said.
He then changed his mind and asked Alhamid why he was bothering the girl, the document said.
Alhamid told the man he had been on his phone and had not spoken to the child.
Alhamid then hurried out of the courthouse toward the garage.
Judicial officials determined that Alhamid was the man who had tried to lure the child and that he had been at the courthouse working as an interpreter translating the proceedings for defendants there when the alleged incident occurred, the warrant said.
He turned himself in to state police Monday morning to face a warrant charging him with attempted first-degree kidnapping, risk of injury to a child and breach of peace.
He is being held on $250,000 bond until his appearance in New Britain Superior Court today.

Why do we allow these people to stay here?
Being in a Courthouse is much like being in a Hospital for a higher than normal likelhood of trouble.
Three years older than Mad Mo's 9 year old "wife" when he raped her. He started to sexual molest Aisha when she was 6 years old.
But you have to understand, in his culture legal age begins at about 6.
She is 12 years old. Much older than Muhammad’s one wife.
That guy needs some serious rehabilitation.
Never heard of New Britain. Evidently, by looking at the weather map in the article on top, it is in Connecticut?
A bullet to the head will do.
I’m sure there is adequate screening. For non-m*slims. Where is the “me too” and “pussy hat” crowd? Oh. I forgot. They are wishing for the destruction of this country, and have no complaint over the special treatment of m*slims.
Not guilty by reason of “sexual emergency.”
Is an interpreter considered an Officer of the Court? If so, can perjury charges attach to his explanation to the judge?
“New Britain”? Yep! That’s pretty much the new Britain.
It’s like we’ve invited wild animals to live with us. A good portion just aren’t civilized.
More precisely, why do we allow these people to stay alive?
Why are they even brought here in the first place?
Rabid dogs need killing
