Chaos erupted at Miami International Airport early Tuesday after a woman allegedly grabbed a 4-year-old boy from his mother at a checkpoint.
The suspect, identified as Alvina Omisiri Agba, refused to let the child go.
23-year-old Agba, from England, pinned the boy down in a wrestling-style maneuver while claiming the child was hers.
Agba was arrested and charged with interference with custody and two counts of battery, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities said Agba approached a mother waiting at an airport checkpoint.
She reportedly offered to help the mom calm her crying son.
Instead, Agba allegedly picked up the child, walked away from the line.
She then told the stunned mother: “This is my child!”
According to deputies, Agba then wrapped her arms and legs around the boy to prevent him from escaping.
She continued clinging to the child as the mother tried to pull him back.
Agba reportedly pushed the child’s mother during the struggle and grabbed the boy’s leg to stop her from rescuing him.
A bystander, Naylet Montano, stepped in after hearing the commotion.
Montano managed to grab the child and walk behind a counter as Agba followed, yelling for “my child” to be returned.
Three men quickly intervened, standing between Montano and Agba to stop her from lunging for the boy again, deputies said.
Agba then fled the area but was arrested shortly afterward at another airport checkpoint.
When questioned, Agba reportedly gave a bizarre explanation for her behavior.
She told deputies she remembered “a wall with a rainbow on it” that she wanted to show to the boy.
The suspect claimed she thought it would help calm the child.
Agba admitted recalling the boy’s mother taking him back.
However, she claimed she could not remember what happened after that.
She told authorities she acted because “God told her to do it.”
Deputies said Agba was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of her arrest.
The child was safely reunited with his mother, and no serious injuries were reported.
However, the child was unsurprisingly shaken by the incident.
Agba remains in custody as the investigation continues.
