Another case of the ever grateful sex criminal migrant
Moment hero bus passengers save teenage girl, 17, from being kidnapped by Sudanese migrant as she walked home from work
The moment hero bus passengers leapt into action and saved a teenage girl from being kidnapped by a Sudanese migrant as she walked home has been released.
The 17-year-old victim was walking alone after finishing a shift at a theatre when she was followed by Abdulmawal Ibrahim Adam.
Adam tried to engage the teenager in conversation before continuing to target her aggressively as she desperately tried to flag down passing cars for help.
Terrifying footage shows Adam attempting to grab the 'petrified' young woman and drag her across the road as she tried to break free.
But the scuffle and her screams are noticed by hero bus passengers who jump off and come to her rescue - chasing her would-be kidnapper away.
Those members of the public have now been commended for their bravery after stopping the attempted kidnap in Swindon, Wiltshire.
Adam then ran off before he tried engaging with another woman and attempted to follow her before she also got away from him.
Adam, 28, a Sudanese national living in Swindon, was jailed for four years and one month after admitting the attempted kidnap.
He will serve an extended licence totalling seven years. The victim told Swindon Crown Court: 'I remember how I was before this happened.
'It was like I wasn't even aware that bad things could happen in the world, and I felt confident in myself to walk out the house every day at any time of day or night.
'I remember not being afraid to be outside or to constantly think about people's intentions around me while in public.
'I never would have believed this had happened to me and I never fully connected myself to when women say they don't feel safe to walk at night, but I understand now.'
George Threlfall, prosecuting, told the court that bus passengers heard the victim screaming and one witness said he saw a young woman stood with a 'lad with his arms over her upper body dragging her across the road, looking petrified and screaming continuously and loudly.'
He said her screams could be heard over the sound of the engine and she was trying to break free, but Adam had a tight grip on her with both of his hands and he was not letting go.
The witness, along with another man, jumped off the bus to intervene and Adam ran off.
Meanwhile, another member of the public heard the victim shouting 'help, help, someone please help' and she went over to speak to her, before leaving her with the bus passengers and following Adam.
