This is the terrifying moment a young girl is nearly kidnapped by a remorseless creep at a train station.

Osman Moalem, 25, was seen grabbing the teenager in CCTV footage last October as she sat on the steps of Liverpool Lime Street while waiting for her friends.

As the 19-year-old struggles to pull herself free, the thug continues to tug on her arm and try to drag her away.

A concerned elderly couple intervened and said they would call the police, but the twisted man just smirked at them.

Once she wrestles away from his grasp, the creep then follows her around the corner into the station.
