Toronto police have located a woman they say was struck by a car and then dragged into another vehicle by a group of men early on Friday morning.
“I heard a lot of shouting at, like, 2:15 in the morning and I opened the door and I heard a woman and some men shouting," one witness told CTV Toronto. “They sounded panicky.”
Police say witnesses and surveillance video show a woman and a man parked in a white SUV outside a building in an east end Toronto neighborhood arguing with each other at approximately 2:30 a.m. on Friday.
The woman then climbed out and two other cars pulled up.
“After arguing in the vehicle, the woman is then seen standing in front of the dark sedan,” Toronto Police Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook said.
“That sedan then strikes her and she falls to the ground.”
Three men allegedly picked the woman up and put her in the back of a silver sedan and drove off.
Toronto police checked a number of hospitals but no one matching the woman’s description had been brought into the emergency room.
Police said the woman was located Friday afternoon, but had yet to be questioned about what happened.
Douglas-Cook said investigators have no reason to believe that the incident was pre-meditated.
“Hopefully this is just an isolated situation,” she said.
Anyone with new information about the investigation is being asked to call police or Crime Stoppers.
