PHILADELPHIA — A woman seen on surveillance video being abducted off a Philadelphia street has been found safe outside Baltimore.
Carlesha Freeland-Gaither was found in Jessup, Md., in a car with the man and was rescued soon after, police said, without going into details. The man was nabbed after he stepped out of the car, they said.
Freeland-Gaither had minor injuries but was generally OK, police said. She and the man didn’t know each other, they said.
Freeland-Gaither had been last seen on surveillance video being grabbed by a man and pulled toward a car Sunday night as she struggled to get away in Philadelphia’s Germantown neighborhood.
Authorities had released a series of images over the past two days from surveillance cameras in Maryland and from a Philadelphia store hours before the abduction.
The 22-year-old nursing assistant graduated from high school in Maryland and lived with her grandfather in Philadelphia until a couple months ago.
