Police in Oakland have launched a kidnapping investigation after a woman was captured on video being dragged into a vehicle near an East Oakland school Tuesday afternoon.

According to officers, the victim was walking on the 1800 block of 98th Avenue, near Elmhurst United Middle School, when an unknown suspect attempted to hit her with a vehicle around 3:30 p.m.

A video purportedly from an eyewitness shows the suspect getting out of the vehicle, which appears to be a gray sedan. Police said he then punched the victim multiple times, causing severe injuries.

The suspect then grabbed the victim against her will and placed her inside the sedan while she yelled that she was being kidnapped. Police said the suspect was last seen driving westbound on 98th Avenue.

Police said the vehicle was later recovered in East Oakland, which was determined to be stolen. Neither the suspect nor the victim has been located.

The victim was described as a Black woman between 20 and 22 years old, standing about 5'5" tall and weighing about 140 pounds. Police said she had black and blue dreadlocks or braids and was last seen wearing a light-colored hoodie and light-colored jeans.
