As it gets level with him, a man jumps out and grabs the boy, identified only as Sebastian, around the head.

Another man jumps out too and joins in trying to overpower Sebastian.

But after a wrestle the boy escapes, leaving his rucksack in one attacker’s hand.

As he sprints away, the pair get back in their car and it moves off, driven by an unseen third conspirator.

Sebastian’s mother, named only as Veronica, said that the incident had been an attempted abduction.

She added that the boy had been having psychological treatment since the attack.

Police say they are treating the incident as a robbery. They have so far made no arrests and the investigation is ongoing.
