Two men were seen allegedly trying to kidnap a 15-year-old girl from a busy city centre street before being stopped by heroic members of the public.

Footage of the attack on Ladypool Road, Birmingham, was captured on CCTV just after 4pm on Saturday. The teenager can be seen walking along the street before being approached by two men. She appears to then be grabbed by the arms and the men try to bundle her into the back seat of a parked white Dacia before people watching got involved and stopped them.

Onlookers went in front of the car to stop it getting away and the girl was able to get free. Police have said that specialist officers are providing support for the 15-year-old while two men have since been charged with kidnap in relation to the incident.
