Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) Transit Police are investigating a reported kidnapping in the Petworth neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C.
The victim, an adult female, reported to police that she was waiting for a bus at the corner of New Hampshire Ave, NW, and Georgia Ave, NW, around 1 p.m. yesterday (Tuesday, September 27, 2016) when she was approached by two unknown men.
After initially engaging the victim in conversation, the males told the victim to come with them and threatened to harm her if she did not comply.
According to the victim, the men forced her to walk with them to a vehicle a short distance away.
