A Little Rock woman was forced into a vehicle at knifepoint Monday night before she was able to fight off one of her captors and flee, she told police.
The 31-year-old told police she was at E-Z Mart, 1201 S. Woodrow St., around 10:15 p.m. when one of the kidnappers approached her and asked "if she wanted to make some money."
The victim refused and started walking east on 12th Street, she said. The stranger and an accomplice reportedly followed her in a blue newer-model vehicle.
When they reached Big Daddy's Pawn Shop, 2523 W. 12th St., the individual who first approached her got out, brandishing a large knife and threatening to kill her if she didn't get in the vehicle, according to the report.
The woman said she reached for the knife and started fighting her assailant, but he managed to get her inside the vehicle.
She continued wrestling with him, grabbing the knife and trying to stab him with it, she told officers. The report stated that the attacker punched her in the chest multiple times and bit her right hand.
Eventually, the Little Rock resident was able to jump out near the intersection of 11th and Wolfe streets. Police noted that she had minor cuts as well as bite marks on her right hand.
Police have named no suspects, and no arrests had been made at the time of the report.
