A possible kidnapping outside a North Carolina home has police searching for answers.
The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department is asking the public for help identifying or locating two people seen in a video captured on a home's video doorbell camera early Wednesday (December 15) morning, WCNC reports.
In the clip, a person can be seen running toward a home while another person chases them on foot. The suspect then violently grabs the victim before throwing them to the ground and repeatedly punching them, eventually dragging the victim in the direction of a car in the background.
"Detectives believe that the victim has sustained injuries that need immediate medical treatment due this assault," CMPD said in a statement.
The department held a press conference on Wednesday to get the public's assistance on the "violent attack" and help identify the individuals seen in the video.
"We don't know who they are, we don't know where they came from and we don't know where they went," said CMPD Detective Joe McNally.
Police shared video of the incident, seen below, in the hopes that someone recognizes either the victim or the suspect.
**Warning: The video could be upsetting for many viewers.
Police believe the suspect was driving a silver Honda Fit that was last seen traveling south toward Albemarle Road.
If you have any information regarding the incident or the identities or whereabouts of either person seen in the video, you are encouraged to call 911 immediately. You could also leave information anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600 or by visiting their website here.
