Alba Baptista, Chris Evans' girlfriend, disclosed that when she was ten years old and on a field trip, she experienced a horrifying attempt at kidnapping by a complete stranger.

Details about the incident

The Warrior Nun Netflix star, now 25, described how she and a group of classmates were learning English while on a study trip in Scotland, UK. She started her career in Portugal in local TV series and films before learning the language and breaking into the profession on the popular American fantasy show. Furthermore, at the time of the incident, Alba Baptista was 10 years old, in Scotland, and looking for a T-shirt to buy for her father. She explained to Nova Gente that a man in his fifties approached her and offered to buy the clothing for her before requesting Alba to follow him to his car. Additionally, he had promised her a "much better T-shirt" before grasping her arm and attempting to kidnap the child who luckily managed to escape his grasp.

"I ran to go to her. I remember telling her what had happened and suddenly I see the man cutting through the queue with a hurricane-type look on his face and coming directly for me."
