A woman seen in a chilling home surveillance video being dragged away from a house by a man in Wichita, Kansas has come forward, police announced Tuesday evening.
The incident happened around 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. The woman appears to have come to the front door of a home for help, and a man is seen grabbing her and dragging her back toward the street as she screamed for help.
The Ring doorbell video went viral, and police were considering the case as a possible abduction.
In a Facebook post Tuesday evening, the Wichita Police Department announced the woman is safe:
***UPDATE***
Female from doorbell video located safely.
This afternoon around 3 p.m. Wichita Police Investigators received a phone call, from a female claiming to be the individual investigators were attempting to identify.
Investigators immediately responded to her location, made contact, and transported her to City Hall for further a victim interview.
Investigators are conducting interviews currently. We have identified the female as a 35-year-old female who lives in the area where the video was captured. At this stage of the investigation, we believe this incident is a case of domestic violence where the female was victimized by her boyfriend. The female does not have any significant injuries.
We want to thank the public for sharing the video and still images that generated additional attention about this incident, we do believe it led the female to call us saying she was the person we were looking for.
As we stressed this morning, we do not have any reason to believe there is ongoing danger to the general public.
We are continuing our investigation into the video and the case will be presented to the appropriate attorney’s office for formal charging consideration.
As of this report, police have not released the woman’s identity, or the identity of the man who they are considering charging in the case.
Below is the terrifying video, originally shared by the Wichita Police Department, and later posted by KAKE News.
