The 32-year-old model, who is in a relationship with Manchester City’s Ruben Dias, feared for her life during the attack on Thursday night.
A source said: “Arabella heard the door being unlocked before she was dragged out. She was completely terrified – but she screamed and fought.
“She had no idea what these people wanted and she feared the worst. They ransacked the car looking for everything they could.”
The robbers made off with Arabella’s luxury bag, purse and passports.

Friends told how she was returning from Ibiza with her dad Paul when she went into labor after they boarded the ferry to Barcelona.
Our source said: “Arabella returns to the UK from her home in Ibiza every winter and, because she has her dog Astra, she drives back in her car. Dad joined her on the trip.
“Shortly after she got off the ferry, she had problems with her two rear wheels. Her dad realized that both tires were slashed.
“With only one spare, they decided Arabella would stay with the car because it was loaded with suitcases and her dad should take an Uber to go get help.
“When he left the vehicle, she locked herself inside and waited. But when the men saw that she was alone, they ran to the vehicle and attacked her.”
The gang allegedly used a high-tech device that unlocks vehicles remotely.
It’s a method that has become common in recent years, with the theft of fancy motorbikes in the UK on the rise.
TV star Arabella begged the men to let her keep the phone and, because she was making noise, it worked.
The couple fled, and she locked herself inside and called her dad, who returned with the police.
Spanish police told the TV star that British cars are the target of attacks and her experience is becoming more common.
Our source continued: “Arabella is so shaken but happy to be back home. It was an extremely traumatic experience for both her and Paul, who is staggering.
“They were told that cars with British plates were being hijacked for passports, which are worth huge amounts of money to criminals.”
Pals said Arabella is recovering at home, with the support of her friends and Portuguese defender Ruben, 26.
The Sun revealed their relationship earlier this month.
