A woman has allegedly been kidnapped from outside a Tube station in London, disappearing for four days before being found partially clothed by a member of the public.
The Metropolitan Police said the victim, in her early 20s, was approached by two men in a silver car close to Ealing Broadway station between 10am and 11am on 18 August.
“The driver was an Asian man, aged in his late 20s,” a spokesperson added. “In the passenger seat was a white male, described as being tanned, aged in his early 20s.
“The passenger - who was known to the woman - got out of the car and pulled the woman into the back seat before getting in with her. All three then drove away.”
The woman was missing until 22 August, when she was found around a mile away in West Ealing and helped by another woman.
Scotland Yard said she was “in distressed state and required clothing” as well as medical treatment.
Detectives are appealing for the member of the public who helped her to come forward to help the investigation.
She was aged in her late teens to early 20s, had purple hair and spoke with an Irish accent.
A 21-year-old man was arrested in connection with investigation and has been bailed until later this month as enquiries continue.
