You know, I heard this news story about a journalist in Iraq, who was nearly abducted wtihin sight of some marines in a guard tower. They broke it up, but her description of the attempt starts out: "Someone grabbed my wrist from behind and started pulling me down the street"

Another guy came and grabbed her around the waist after the initial contact and they were trying to get her into a car. It's just one incident but I think that wrist grabs are more common than folks think.
