Good Samaritans help thwart kidnapping

An Egyptian family helped rescue a Syrian man from his alleged kidnappers yesterday following a high-speed car chase through the streets of Nasr City, Egypt Independent says. Yara Alaa Al Din caught the chase on video as her father tailed a suspicious car as it made its way through Nasr City screaming out “thief.” The family figured something was wrong when they heard muffled cries for help coming from the vehicle. Yara’s mother was riding shotgun the whole time, holding Yara’s baby. Watch the whole thing here (runtime 4:01).
