Woman abducted from Philadelphia street found alive She was shown being dragged along the street by her hoodie-wearing abductor and then bundled into a metallic Ford Taurus. The nurse tried to escape, but was driven off. Her rescue was thanks to sharp-eyed members of the public who found a receipt from a convenience store near to where she had been abducted. The receipt, which showed that the kidnapper had used the nurse's debit card to buy a packet of crisps, enabled police to get clearer video of the suspect. According to Philadelphia police, a car dealer who saw the video on television contacted them and confirmed his identity.

The car was tracked to a parking lot at a shopping centre in Jessup, near Baltimore. Ms Freeland-Gaither and Barnes were in the back seat of the car and he was grabbed by police before he could make his escape. The nurse, who was taken to hospital, has now been reunited with her family. I'm taking my baby home. Thank you," said Keisha Gaither, her mother. Barnes appeared in court on Thursday. He is also expected to extradited to Virginia to face charges in connection with the attempted murder of a teenage girl in Virginia on October 1. In relation to that attack he is facing a series of charges including attempted capital murder, abduction, forcible rape and malicious wounding using a chemical agent. Barnes, who has an extensive criminal record, will also face charges in relation to the kidnapping of the nurse. Charles Ramsey, the Philadelphia Police commissioner, hailed the arrest of Barnes. "He's a thug and this is what he does apparently," Mr Ramsey said of the alleged abductor. He's a vicious predator. He's off the streets.
