TWO men wearing balaclavas tried to bundle a mum into a car as she pushed her baby boy in a pram along the pavement.
The victim was walking along a road in Coventry when a small dark car stopped behind her on Friday night.
The two thugs got out of the vehicle and then tried to force the woman inside.
Her screams for help scared off her attempted abductors and they got back into the car and drove off.
West Midlands Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen something or may have CCTV or dashcam footage of what happened to come forward.
