South Africa - Terrifying kindergarten hijack attempt by fake cops, 22 Jan 2015

[zwiebel]

A frightened witness filmed a terrifying attempted abduction of a Chinese couple outside a kindergarten in Pretoria, South Africa, today (Thursday). The attack happened in broad daylight as parents waited outside the school, by a car full of fake police, with a blue flashing light. It's not stated if the couple were waiting to pick up their child.

A man and a woman are seen fighting and struggling as the abductors force the man into their white 'police' car, and attempt to drive off with the woman, in the couples' black BMW. For a long time, the witness doing the filming doesn't realize the police are not real police, so doesn't call emergency.

It really is a terrifying video, and the only reason that couple aren't missing at the moment is because they fought so hard and screamed so loud. Real police are still searching for the fake police/kidnappers tonight.
