The former Neighbours actress who has allegedly been stranded in Malaysia after she was separated from her child has grabbed her son back from her ex-partner in a dramatic recovery.

Video shows the moment Eliza Szonert, 41, arrived at a restaurant in Malaysia flanked by two burly men to grab her young son from her former partner, Australian musician and businessman Ashley Crick.

The high profile pair had allegedly become involved in a bitter custody battle while staying in Kuala Lumpur, when Ms Szonert was allegedly forced to leave Mr Crick’s hotel without their son or passport.

Around a week later, Ms Szonert has managed to retrieve her son from a restaurant in the Malaysian capital’s Mid Valley Mega Mall with the assistance of a leading Australian child recovery agency.

A spokesperson from the child recovery agency, which asked not to be identified for security reasons, told Daily Mail Australia that Australian government authorities are now refusing to reissue a passport for the son.

The High Commissioner had allegedly refused to reissue a passport because a passport already exists and the incident is a ‘civil custody matter’.

Ms Szonert has allegedly been told by authorities that she must negotiate a resolution with Mr Crick.

The child recovery agency spokesperson said the son’s visa for Malaysia is also due to expire soon.

‘The Australian government is just wiping their hands of it,’ the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson also assured that Ms Szonert would not do the same to Mr Crick.

Daily Mail Australia has been told that Ms Szonert and Mr Crick had shared custody of their son.

Ms Szonert had travelled to Kuala Lumpur with her son last week to visit Mr Crick, her former partner of four years and father of her child.

It had earlier been reported that Malaysia is not a signatory of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, Sydney Morning Herald reported earlier on Thursday.

It is understood Mr Crick, an accomplished sky-diver, relocated to Malaysia to roll out an online video platform similar to Netflix.

Ms Szonert made a name for herself as an actress after appearing in the

Australian drama Neighbours between 1993 and 1993, and has since played Trish Moran in the film The Dish.

Daily Mail Australia had earlier contacted Mr Crick for comment.
