Chaos erupted at Miami International Airport early Tuesday when a woman from England allegedly snatched a 4-year-old boy from his mother at a checkpoint, clung to him, and refused to let go—while insisting the child was hers, according to deputies.

Alvina Omisiri Agba, 23, is charged with interference with custody and two counts of battery, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

Agba allegedly approached a mother standing at a checkpoint at Miami International Airport, offering to help soothe her crying 4-year-old son, according to an MDSO report obtained by Fox News Digital.

After her arrest, Agba told deputies she remembered a wall that had a rainbow on it, and thought it would help soothe the child. 

She said she remembered the mother coming to take the child, but “did not remember what happened after that,” according to the report. She added she “only did it because God told her to do it.”

Agba was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of her arrest, according to the report.

Miami International Airport referred Fox News Digital to the sheriff’s office for comment.
