A Coptic Christian man called Michelle Gerges was kidnapped yesterday in Mallawy under gunpoint.
Armed men had broken into his shop and kidnapped the man and fled in their car.
Family of the kidnapped man is expecting a phone call from the kidnappers to demand ransom in order to release him.
It's worth mentioning that the gang had used the same car to kidnap a four years old Coptic child, but police had not intervened.
