(CNN) -- Philadelphia police arrested Carlos Figueroa-Fagot after he turned himself in to authorities who believe he is the man who tried to snatch a 10-year-old girl in Philadelphia, authorities said Thursday
The 33-year-old suspect gave himself up Wednesday evening after police released surveillance video showing the attack.
"This case demonstrates the power of getting information out," Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter told reporters.
Figueroa-Fagot was charged with a series of felony and misdemeanor charges, including attempted kidnapping, unlawful restraint, indecent assault and other counts.

Authorities say the suspect has a prior criminal record in Puerto Rico that stems from between 2000 and 2006.
Last year, he also faced allegations of sexual assault from a family member in Philadelphia, police said. That case, however, was withdrawn without prosecution earlier this month.
An American Navy ship fired on a boat in the Persian Gulf today, killing one person and injuring three others aboard the craft, a U.S. naval official told ABC News.
A spokesperson for the Navy's 5th Fleet, which is based in nearby Bahrain, said that a security team aboard the oil supply ship U.S.N.S. Rappahannock fired a .50 caliber machine gun at a "small motor vessel after it disregarded warnings and rapidly approached the U.S. ship" off the coast of Jebel Ali, a city approximately 30 miles from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The Navy is investigating the incident as details continue to emerge. A Navy official said the offending vessel was a white pleasure craft, but a UAE official told ABC News the it was a fishing boat with four Indians and two Emirates on board. There doesn't appear to be any indication the incident was terror-related, the UAE official said.
The Navy official said it's not uncommon for Iranian speed craft to harass U.S. ships in the region, but in this case the boat wasn't Iranian.
"I can't emphasize enough that this has nothing to do with Iran," the official said.
CAIRO (Reuters) - Protesters threw tomatoes and shoes at U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's motorcade on Sunday during her first visit to Egypt since the election of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi.
A tomato struck an Egyptian official in the face, and shoes and a water bottle landed near the armoured cars carrying Clinton's delegation in the port city of Alexandria.
A senior state department official said that neither Clinton nor her vehicle, which were around the corner from the incident, were struck by any of the projectiles.
Protesters chanted: "Monica, Monica", a reference to Former President Bill Clinton's extra-marital affair. Some chanted: "leave, Clinton", Egyptian security officials said.
It was not clear who the protesters were or what political affiliations they had. Protesters outside Clinton's hotel on Saturday night chanted anti-Islamist slogans, accusing the United States of backing the Muslim Brotherhood's rise to power.
Police and hundreds of volunteers are dragging a lake and fanning out across the Evansdale, Iowa, area, searching for two Iowa girls who haven't been seen for two days.
Elizabeth Collins, 8, and her cousin, Lyric Cook, 10, were last seen around midday Friday, riding their bicycles in downtown Evansdale, Iowa.
Police say they found the girls' bicycles and a bag they were carrying on a trail near Meyers Lake. Crews used boats to search the lake and volunteers looked in the woods Saturday and were back today, but haven't found what happened to the girls.
"We will keep searching until we are confident that they are not in that lake," Captain Rick Abben, a chief deputy with the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Office, told ABC News affiliate KCRG.
No Amber alert was issued in the case, because it does not meet the requirements, Abben said.
"Because we have no person that was seen and we have no vehicle that was described, so we can't issue an Amber alert by their guidelines," Abben said.
The girls' grandmother, Wylma Cook, says she fears they were abducted.
"Whoever has them, just turn them in, let them loose anywhere so they can call me," Cook said. "Lyric knows my cell phone, she knows my house phone.
"I thought with the helicopters and my other son and a friend going on four-wheelers until four o'clock in the morning they would see all these lights and stuff or something," Cook told KCRG. "When I woke up this morning, I just bawled my eyes out."
An anonymous person has offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the girls' whereabouts, police said.
Bill Cosby has canceled his Sept. 2 appearance at the
Chukchansi Gold Resort
& Casino because of a dispute between the casino and an outside group over
the tribe's efforts to get rid of some members. That group
wrote a letter to Cosby to explain how it is upset with the Picayune
Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians, owners of the Coarsegold casino, for
removing people from its membership rolls.

"The letter
was written to stop these performers from coming and supporting the tribes
for doing what they are doing to the people," says Laura Wass, a Fresno-based American Indian activist who is a member of
the group that sent the
letter. Wass says
Cosby was not singled out for any particular reason. He is just the
first of several performers scheduled to appear at Chukchansi who
have been sent
letters regarding the dispute.
