She’s a hero!
A terrified mum in the UK fought off a man who tried to snatch her son on his way to school.
The attacker attempted to grab the 8 year old child as he walked along a street in Yeovil, Somerset on Monday morning.
His heroic mum let out a scream when she saw what was happening before racing to fight off the attacker. She was pushing an infant in a pram as this was going on.
The mum held on to her son for dear life and thankfully, the stranger let go and sped off in a “dirty white estate”.
According to the little boys mother, the man was around 5ft 8ins tall and of medium build with broad shoulders. She’s warning parents to watch out for any suspicious behaviour after witnessing this horrific encounter.
Avon and Somerset Police are searching for the attacker who’s thought to be in his 30s.
A spokesperson for the police said: “Officers have carried out house-to-house and CCTV enquiries and are in touch with the boy’s school, while reassurance patrols have been carried out.
“No further incidents have been reported, but please do contact your neighbourhood officers with any concerns.”
They released a statement describing him as having olive brown skin, dark-coloured hair in a quiff style and a beard.
His car was “a dirty white estate with tinted rear windows”.
This is truly every parent’s nightmare!
