Man grabs baby girl from mum’s arms on train in ‘abduction attempt’
An urgent manhunt has launched after a stranger snatched a baby girl off her mother’s arms on a train.
Every parent’s worst nightmare happened on a train in Nottinghamshire when a stranger attempted to abduct a baby.
The frightening incident happened on board a train as it was about to stop at Worksop station.
A man grabbed a baby girl out of her mum’s arms and ‘took off down the carriage with her,’ detectives said.
Luckily, a relative ‘managed to grab the baby back’ before the man disappeared with her.
Now an investigation has launched into the attempted abduction which took place at about 7.30pm on August 17.
The mother was preparing to leave the train with her baby when they were targeted by the unknown man.
The man – described as a ‘stranger’ by British Transport Police – left the train at Barnsley.
Detectives released CCTV footage of a man they believe can help with the probe.
He appeared to wear a red polo t-shirt and had light brown hair in a CCTV image.
Anyone with information is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference number 228 of August 18.
