Horror second unlawful migrant tries to grab teen lady off road as sicko is jailed

According to sources, the migrant had arrived into the UK on a small boat back in September 2023, before attempting to abduct the defenceless teen in shocking footage

This is the moment a suspected illegal migrant tried to abduct a young teenage girl in broad daylight. The teen was able to get away and the twisted man has since been thrown behind bars.

Shocking CCTV footage shows Abdulmawal Ibrahim Adam, 28, attempt to kidnap the 17-year-old girl, dragging her across the road. It comes as the latest in a swathe of attacks on young girls at the hands of migrants.

The girl was brought across the road “against her will” as she bravely tried to fight back. Thankfully, members of the public saw the horrendous attack take place and stepped in to free the frightened girl.

According to the Sun, the sickening attempted kidnap took place in Swindon, Wiltshire at around 9pm on March 6. Footage shows the teenager walking home after work, heading towards a set of traffic lights.

Whilst waiting to cross, Adam can be seen charging towards his victim and grabbing her from behind, as she screams and starts to struggle to get out. She is then horrifyingly seen being dragged back across the street as he tried to carry her away.

In a stroke of sheer luck, members of the public — shocked at what they were seeing — stepped in and were able to free the victim from Adam’s grasp. Adam proceeded to flee the scene, but not before being chased by one of the witnesses who filmed him on her mobile phone.

Police were eventually called after the victim’s mum came forward on her behalf later that evening. Adam was later arrested and charged with attempted kidnapping.

Appearing before Swindon Crown Court on Friday (December 12), Adam was sentenced to over four years in prison for his vile crime. Presiding Judge Jason Taylor KC said that he believed Adam posed a “significant risk of serious harm to the public”.

He added: Those members of the public most at risk are female, and they must be protected from you.” In total, the migrant was sentenced to four years and one month in prison, and will then be subject to a licence period of just under 3 years “for public protection”.

In his sentencing remarks, Judge Taylor said that the man had tried to start a conversation with the victim about money, before disgustingly asking about going home with her, telling her he did not have a girlfriend. But despite her pleading to leave her alone, he persisted and began to pester her.

“Witnesses described you pushing and dragging her despite her screaming loudly, with those screams being vividly captured on bus CCTV,” the judge added. “People were sufficiently shocked and alarmed that they intervened; you, however, were smiling as if you had done nothing wrong.”

Adam is believed to have come to the UK on a small boat in September of 2023, fleeing the Darfur region of war-torn Sudan. However, within just two months, he landed himself in hot water with the authorities and appeared before court for entering into the country “without valid entry clearance”.

Throughout his case, Adam refused to work with lawyers, leading to an eight-month delay in his case being heard. It is currently unknown if there were conditions attached to his initial run-in with the law, or if he is trying to seek asylum.
