Pinay karate expert repels would-be abductors

A Filipina karate expert single-handedly thwarted an attempt by two high school students to kidnap her in Kuwait, an Arab newspaper reported.

The two tried to kidnap the Filipina while she was on her way to work, according to a report on news site Gulf News.

Gulf News cited a report from Kuwaiti daily Al Rai that the Filipina also taught her would-be abductors “a lesson they will never forget.”

While the report did not name the Filipina, it described the suspects as students of a private high school.

According to the report, the two students tried to kidnap the Filipina but she took them on and the boys fled the scene. But the woman followed the students and called the police after she saw them enter a private school in Farwaniya.

With the Filipina’s help, the police identified the duo and arrested them.
