NEW ORLEANS — Video reportedly shows the moment two men tried to kidnap a 34-year-old woman as she walked down Dauphine Street in the Marigny Thursday night.
The New Orleans Police Department said the vehicle is either a gray Nissan Altima or Maxima with heavily tinted windows and a small spoiler on the trunk. Police also said the car is possibly between 2014 and 2018.
The crime was recorded by a home surveillance camera and was shared with our partners at the Times Picayune/New Orleans Advocate.
The video shows a dark sedan stop near the intersection of Dauphine and Marigny Streets where the woman is walking. A masked man gets out of the vehicle and tries to push her into the car.
Another masked man emerges from the car and also tries to push her inside. The victim did not see the driver of the vehicle but she described the two that exited the car as Hispanic males to NOPD.
The woman escaped when the suspects saw approaching headlights and left the scene, according to New Orleans Police Department.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the NOPD Fifth District at 504-658-6050, 911, or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 / 1-877-903-7867.
