A 16-year-old girl traveling from Bristol to London narrowly escaped after being abducted by three young men. Reports say the suspects “threatened and coerced” her, but she managed to break free before suffering further harm.

The accused—Roberto French, 22, Hilal Mohamed, 22, and Abdisalam Mohamad, 21—allegedly targeted the victim during her journey. Thanks to her quick actions, she contacted police soon after, and investigators praised her bravery for stopping the ordeal from escalating.

Police confirmed inquiries are ongoing and urged witnesses to come forward. The case has drawn national attention, highlighting safety concerns for young people.

In a separate incident, a convicted offender involving a minor faced prison violence just two days into his sentence. A video surfaced online showing inmates filming a “welcome” message aimed at him, sparking outrage.

Both cases have intensified debate about protecting vulnerable individuals, the dangers youth face, and the justice system’s responsibility to ensure safety inside and outside prison walls.
