Watch: Toddler, two, snatched in front of her father by brazen kidnapper who then casually strolls away

This is the alarming moment a kidnapper snatches a toddler from the street in broad daylight – without breaking his stride.

CCTV footage from the Saka Naka area of the city of Mumbai, India, shows two-year-old Shireen Fatima stumbling around outside her father’s shop.

The toddler is seen stepping carefully down onto the pavement before bumping into a man walking past.

But instead of simply stepping around Shireen, the man brazenly picks up her and walks away with her, barely breaking stride to do so.

Shireen’s father, unnamed in reports, only discovered his daughter was missing shortly after the man walked off with her.

He recalled: “Fatima was playing outside, but when we came outside to call her she was not there.”

It was not immediately clear whether the little girl was harmed or what Parab’s motives were for taking her away.
