CAIRO: Video footage captured the terrifying moment two men snatched an eight-year-old boy from his mother’s side on an Egyptian street and bundled into a car, his desperate mother falling to the floor as she tried to stop her son’s captors from escaping. The child, who has been named as Ziyad Ahmed Al-Behairi, was walking into a grocery shop with his mother, when the two masked men took him and forced him into the vehicle. As the boy’s mother realizes what has happened, she runs towards the car attempting to grab ahold of the vehicle but slips and falls close to the wheel as it begins to move. The abduction happened on Sunday outside a grocery shop in the Gharbia governorate of Mahalla al-Kubra city, in Egypt and was captured on the shop’s security cameras. The boy was eventually found the next day on Monday and reunited with his distraught parents. The vehicle used in the incident was discovered with fake registration plates, burnt out, a source told Masrawy news portal. The interior ministry released a video on Tuesday of what it said were "real images of releasing the abducted child and the arrest of the perpetrator." The police are investigating the motive behind the abduction.
