Miami police released security footage of what appears to a woman being abducted and forced inside a vehicle Friday night. Police are asking for nationwide help from the public, in an attempt to find the woman and bring her to safety.
Miami Herald reports that Miami Police Commander Freddie Cruz said the video showed a woman being taken by force Friday night and pushed by a man into a late model white Nissan Altima. The incident happened off of 2345 NW 36 Street at La Ceiba Tire Shop. The car had a temporary license plate attached with a partial tag number of “CFJ7” or “CFF7.”
“We don’t know the whereabouts of this young lady. We don’t know if she’s hurt,” Cruz via a Facebook Live statement. “This is someone’s daughter, this is someone’s sister, someone’s family member. We need to apprehend this individual. We need to bring this young lady back home to safety.”

Authorities have no idea who the victim or the suspects are, but the woman is described as a black female in her 20s or 30s. She was wearing dark pants and a white long-sleeved shirt. A witness who wants to remain anonymous told Local 10 news that the man who grabbed the woman hit her numerous times.
“She told me, ‘Call 911,'” the witness explained. “She told me, ‘He’s going to kill me.’ He was running like a beast into the shop, he took her (and) he hit her like 20 times.”
Spokeswoman for the Miami Police Department, Kiara Delva, said the suspect wrapped his arms around the woman’s neck as he pushed her toward the car.
Anyone with information should contact the Miami Police Department at 305-603-6370 or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
