A 16-year-old girl traveling from Bristol to London narrowly escaped after being abducted by a group of young men.

According to reports, the suspects threatened and coerced the teenager during the frightening ordeal. She was able to break free before any further harm could occur.

The three men accused of involvement were named as Roberto French, 22, Hilal Mohamed, 22, and Abdisalam Mohamad, 21. Authorities believe they targeted the victim while she was en route to London.

The girl’s quick actions allowed her to contact police soon after her escape. Investigators credit her bravery with preventing the situation from escalating further.

Local police confirmed that inquiries are ongoing and appealed for any additional witnesses or information to come forward. The case has drawn significant attention across the country.

In a separate but related matter, another incident has raised public concern. A man convicted of a serious offense involving a minor recently began serving a prison sentence.

Just two days into his incarceration, disturbing footage appeared online showing fellow inmates recording a so-called “welcome” video directed at him. The video has sparked outrage and debate over prison safety and accountability.

Authorities continue to investigate both the abduction and the prison video case. Together, they have fueled national conversations about the protection of vulnerable individuals, the dangers faced by young people, and the broader responsibilities of the justice system
