NYC cops seek kidnapped woman and her abductor in caught-on-video Coney Island, Brooklyn incident
Brooklyn street video cameras caught images of a man kidnapping a woman in Coney Island — aiding a police hunt Saturday for the victim and the suspect.
The suspected abductor, believed to be in his 30s, grabbed the woman near the corner of Ave. W and Stillwell Ave. about 1:45 a.m. Friday, said police.
He carried the woman to a late-model Toyota minivan before speeding off north on Stillwell Ave., according to stunned witnesses who called police.
Responding officers couldn’t find the minivan, but recovered surveillance footage of the kidnapping.
By Saturday, no one had come forward to report a missing loved one or acquaintance matching the description of the victim, cops said. The woman thrown in the minivan hasn’t been identified.
The abducted woman is described as white with long hair, cops said. Based on the surveillance video, she’s about 5-foot-5 and approximately 120 pounds. She was wearing a striped shirt, blue skirt and white sneakers when she was taken.
The man who grabbed her has a beard and close cropped black hair and is believed to be about 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds. At the time of the kidnapping he was wearing a black shirt, dark pants and black sneakers.
Cops released the surveillance images in the hopes that someone recognizes the suspect or victim and can help police track them man down.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
