Turkish holiday attack was like 'something out of Taken' after 'abduction attempt' on kids

A couple has claimed two men tried to abduct their children while on holiday in Turkey. The pair, from Dublin, alleged they were attacked by the men during the incident earlier this month.

Parents, Elaine and Phil, have said they were on a night out during their family break which descended into "pure and utter panic". Elaine told RTE's Liveline how their lovely trip ended with a terrifying experience at the hotel where they were staying.

She said they had spent the day with their children aged 10 and 11 outside of the hotel after already being a week into their trip, reports The Mirror. Speaking on the show she said when they returned they had a late night drink at an outdoor bar where they had met up with two English couples, one they had been with the previous evening.
