A BRITISH woman has allegedly tried to kidnap a distraught child at an airport, shouting "this is my child".
Passenger Alvina Omisri Agba made off with the crying four-year-old boy in a Miami airport after offering to help his mother calm him down.
The mother and son had been waiting in line at a security checkpoint at 4am on Tuesday when he started crying.
Agba offered a helping hand to help settle him, before immediately walking away with the boy.
Concerned mum Nadine Joseph followed the 23-year-old woman, later finding her sitting on the floor with her son.
When Nadine tried to take him back, Agba said: "No, this is my child".
Agba then enveloped the young boy with her arms and legs so he couldn't run away.
When Nadine tried again to grab him, Agba allegedly pushed her away.
