Woman escapes attempted kidnapping in Hawaii parking garage, video shows

HONOLULU -- An alleged attempted kidnapping in broad daylight was caught on camera in Hawaii.

The video shows a man creeping up behind two women walking into a parking garage in Honolulu, Hawaii. The footage was obtained by KITV.

"All of a sudden, we felt somebody really close, evil, and we both kind of turned. and his face was filled with anger," one of the women, who asked to not be identified, said.

The man then starts chasing after the 24-year-old woman. She runs out of the garage, but he picks her up and she tries to wriggle free.

"She was fighting with all her might. She kept saying to him, 'You don't want to do this.' She was trying to give him a conscience and I'm screaming, 'help! help!' as loud as I can."

Police said the suspect tried to get the victim to his car as neighbors yelled to let her go.

"There was terror," neighbor Beverly Lewis said. "She's off the ground and flailing and screaming. We just started screaming at him to drop her, put her down, get out of here."

The attacker then dropped the woman in the street before police say he fled in his vehicle.

Police say a few hours later they arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of kidnapping.

At last check he was in custody.
