This is the distressing moment a father was beaten by a mob in in Argentina after his ex-girlfriend allegedly falsely accused him of trying to kidnap their daughter.

Cell phone video footage captures the moment a man, who identified himself as Nahuel, 21, was brutally attacked outside a train station in the province of Buenos Aires this week.

A woman is heard in the background shouting: 'Turn him into s*** until the cops arrive.'

A male vigilante is spotted in the disturbing image kicking the defenseless dad's face.

Soon thereafter, another man reaches down and grabs Nahuel by the pants and drags him down the street while residents shout at others with cell phones to take pictures of him.

The savage assault occurred Monday night after Nahuel tracked down the woman, who was identified as Soledad, 24, after she allegedly took their 11-month-old child from his home without his permission.

The police is still working to locate Soledad to reunite the dad and the baby.

Nahuel told Argentine television station Cronica that Soledad showed up drunk at his home and forcefully removed the young girl but left behind the former couple's two-year-old daughter.

'I did not steal the baby. She is my daughter and she is in my care,' he said. 'In fact, I requested a court restriction order against the mother.'

Nahuel followed her to a train station in the town of José C. Paz before Soledad allegedly shouted that he was trying to kidnap the child and that she didn't know him.

Nahuel estimated 50 people chased him after he failed to convince them that he indeed was the baby's father.

The images show the beaten, barefooted man laid out on the street while the vigilantes continue to strike him in the head.

'They almost killed me,' Nahuel said.

Her cousin defended the father-for-two.

She said: 'The baby was in the custody of her father. Nahuel is a very good guy. He is educated and hardworking, now he is in a hospital and the ex-wife is on the run with her daughter.'
