Update: Woman kidnapped by ex-boyfriend in Fresno, police say. Video shows suspect vehicle
Fresno police investigated a kidnapping and assault on Monday morning — with the suspect still at large.
According to police, a 30-year old woman was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend at Fresno Street and Tyler Avenue.
The suspect was described by officers as as 30 years old and Hispanic.
Police are working to confirm the man’s identity so his name was not released.
Officers are looking for a black SUV they believed was involved in the incident. The SUV is a Chevy Avalanche or Cadillac Escalade with large chrome rims and black tinted windows in the back. It was last seen driving west on Tyler Avenue just before 11 a.m.
Police said they believe a man driving the SUV rammed a car carrying a woman who he had previously dated before forcing her into his car and driving away.
Police confirmed someone in the area caught at least part of the incident on a cellphone camera.
The resident who asked not be identified told the Bee they saw the incident taking place and knew something was wrong.
Officers will release his name and the license plate of the car as soon as it is confirmed, police said.
