WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT
(starts)
This is the shocking moment a suspected paedophile forces his way through a door clutching a five-year-old girl as she and a small boy battle to hold it open against him.
The brave young lad then yells for help until a woman arrives and rushes through the doorway to stop the man after he abducted the girl from a nearby playground.
The footage was obtained from the United Press Service of the Judicial System of the Tyumen Region in the city of Tyumen, in Russia's Tyumen Oblast, and shows the incident on 28th May.
The CCTV video shows the man opening the door with the child clamped under one arm, as she and a boy of about the same age strain to keep it open.
The pair are unable to stop him, but a woman, drawn by the boy's shouts for help, rushes in.
The woman then drives the man off the girl and takes her to safety.
Her alleged attacker, named by officials as Aleksei Novak, 44, was reportedly photographed by the woman and was subsequently arrested by police called to the scene.
Yulia A., the local resident who saved the unnamed little girl, told local media: "I ran there and abandoned the car."
She added: "It was as if God led me there."
The judicial press service said in a statement: "A man who committed sexual assault on a five-year-old girl has been taken into custody.
"He has been charged under the article 'Other sexual acts taking advantage of the victim's helplessness, if committed against a person under the age of 14.'"
The suspect admitted his guilt and asked for house arrest, but a judge ordered that he be held in pretrial detention, the authorities said.
He now faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
The suspect reportedly has a seven-year-old daughter and had been dodging bailiffs over a debt of RUB 334,000 (GBP 3,437).
The young girl seen in the footage is now in psychological care, and local residents have demanded that the two children and Yulia A. be rewarded for their bravery, according to reports.
