Harrowing surveillance video captured the moment a Michigan teenager was allegedly kidnapped at gunpoint by a three-time repeat offender as she and her classmates waited for their school bus earlier this week.
The alleged abduction unfolded just after 7 a.m. on Monday, April 13, when police say a 16-year-old student was waiting to board her school bus near the area of Edwinand Brombach streets in Hamtramck, authorities said a man allegedly approached her, held a handgun to her back and forced her into a van.
Another student who witnessed the incident immediately contacted authorities, and officers worked with students at the school who were tracking the victim’s cellphone location.
The victim was tracked to a nearby gas station, where she had signaled to a cashier that she was in danger after the suspect sent her inside to purchase cigarettes.
Surveillance video from the gas station shows the moment authorities confronted Fields, viciously attacked and sexually assaulted," Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement. "Despite what she had just gone through, her quick thinking and mental toughness saved her life. We cannot reverse what happened to her, but we can work hard to bring justice to her."
