Miami airport chaos as woman grabs crying child from mother, wraps legs around boy to prevent escape

Tension broke out at Miami International Airport earlier this week when an English woman reportedly grabbed a 4-year-old boy from his mother at security, held onto him, and claimed the child belonged to her, as deputies reported.

Alvina Omisiri Agba, 23, is charged with interference with custody and two counts of battery, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

According to a report by the MDSO, obtained by Fox News Digital, Agba allegedly approached a mother at the Miami International Airport checkpoint offering to help comfort her crying 4-year-old son.

After her arrest, Agba told deputies she remembered a wall that had a rainbow on it, and thought it would help soothe the child. 

She recounted the mother taking the child back but claimed “not to remember what happened afterwards,” as per the report. She remarked her actions were “prompted by divine instruction.”

Agba was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of her arrest, according to the report.

Miami International Airport referred Fox News Digital to the sheriff’s office for comment.
