CHATSWORTH, LOS ANGELES -- A naked suspect was taken into custody at a Chatsworth recreation center Friday morning after reports that he was trying to kidnap an infant.

Police responded to a report of a naked man who entered a gym in the 10400 block of Mason Avenue at 10:20 a.m. and tried to take a girl.
