MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Law enforcement sources have told Local 10 News a man is in custody in connection to the abduction, assault and shooting of a 12-year-old boy.



The boy was sexually assaulted and shot over the weekend, and temporarily blinded after a bullet struck him in the jaw and went out through the other side of his head, authorities said Monday.



He's still in a lot of pain as he continues to recover at Jackson Memorial Hospital.



The boy's life was likely saved by a good Samaritan, and doctors say that if the bullet went a millimeter in either direction, he'd be dead.



"The young boy says he couldn't see at the time. He had lost his sight and he was using his touch trying to find his way around to seek help," said Det. Alvaro Zabaleta of the Miami-Dade Police Department



A man who says he only goes by Johnny says he found the young boy wandering alone and crying early Saturday morning, blocks away from the Foodland Market on Northwest 37th Avenue and 47th Street in Miami-Dade County. Johnny can be seen on video escorting the boy to the market to get help.
