The 15-year-old girl can be seen walking along the street before being approached by two men.
She is grabbed by the arms and the men try to bundle her into the back seat of a parked white Dacia.
Bravely fighting back, the girl wrestles with the men for a moment on the pavement in a desperate bid to escape.
Members of the public watch on in horror as the girl is violently shoved into the vehicle.
As the men make to drive off some brave have-a-go heroes come over to intervene.
The group try to stop the men from driving away with the terrified teen, gathering around the vehicle.
The heroic members of the public then form a human barricade in front of the car, forcing it to stay put and saving the girl from the kidnappers.
Two men have since been charged with kidnap in relation to the ordeal.
Specialist officers are speaking to the girl and offering her support in the wake of the harrowing incident.
Mohammed Ali, aged 49, and his son Luqman Ali, 20, are charged with kidnapping.
Mohammed is also accused of false imprisonment and assault.
The pair have been remanded in custody and will appear before city magistrates today.
West Midlands Police said: “Our investigation continues and anyone with information, mobile phone or dash cam footage, has been asked to get in touch via 101, quoting 20/406171/25.”
