A man has been charged with attempted kidnap after a woman was threatened by men with baseball bats in Kent.
A 24-year-old from Ramsgate was walking along Addington Street, in Margate, when a van stopped ahead of her on Tuesday afternoon, police said.
She told police it then reversed towards her. Men with baseball bats and golf clubs got out and ran towards her.
