Ana Blazic was walking with her baby and two nephews in Obrenovac, near the Serbian capital Belgrade.

She told local media how she was attacked by four migrants at 7:30pm: "One of them came close to me and pushed me.

"I fell on the other migrant, and the two others were standing to the side. In that moment, when the man pushed me, he started to push the baby pram my son was in.

"Somehow, I reached the carriage and started to pull it back. Many things crossed my mind in that moment. I thought my baby would fall out of the pram and be hurt and paralysed.

"I thought they would take my baby that I had waited so long for. Luckily, a man appeared and started to yell at them.

"The moment seemed an eternity, because I had three children with me. I am still in shock and I can’t stop thinking what could have happened."

She says that she would like to meet the man who helped her.

Mrs Blazic says she and her husband waited a long time to have a child.

She says: "Ten years we waited for a baby. I had IVF and I can’t believe that I suffered something like this in my hometown… migrants wanting to kidnap my son.

"I fought with all my strength not to let them take him away from me."

Her brother Predrag Velimirovic, whose two children were walking with Mrs Blazic at the time of the attack, says that he no longer feels safe in his hometown.

Mr Velimirovic says: "The citizens here are suffering horrors since the floods in 2014. Now they are hostages in their own town. My son, who was with Ana at the time of the attack, is eight years old. He said to me: 'Dad, you have no idea how scary it was'."

According to Serbian police, four suspects have been arrested. They are from Afghanistan and Pakistan. They were seen at a bureau de change just before the attack.

A bureau de change employee said they had exchanged 10 euros (£8.61) and seemed cheerful, with no hint of what they were about to do.

In Obrenovac, migrants are housed in a refugee centre, which is a military barracks. According to municipality officials, there are 571 migrants, with some children among them.

The most recent migrants arrived ten days ago.

The Minister of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Policy, Aleksandar Vulin, said security measures for refugees had been increased. There will now be pass cards for them to go out of the centre.

Mr Vulin said: "Certain restrictions have been established for the movement of the migrants. The Ministry of Interior Affairs has increased the number of police officers in the field and the situation in the centre of the town is stable."

The name of the suspects were not released and details of charges against them were not made public.
