Video: Woman tries to kidnap baby from mother

A surveillance camera in the city of Tanta, north of Egypt, documented the moment a woman tried to kidnap a baby from in front of his mother, but she quickly recovered.

The kidnapper said that she grabbed the little boy's hand by mistake, thinking he was her son, which the mother did not believe.

The mother said on her Facebook account: I could have returned home without my son because this woman decided in a moment to kidnap him and break my heart for him for the rest of my life, if God had not protected me and caught up with her. God knows how many mothers have broken her heart for their son. Unfortunately, we were unable to detain her until the police arrived, but she will be arrested, God willing.

Within hours, the security forces were able to arrest the kidnapper and refer her to the Public Prosecution.
