“Dear PoPville,
Can you please alert your followers about this horrifying incident that happened this morning in Dupont to my friend. We’ve ask MPD to update the alert to make sure people know this was not just a robbery but also an attempted kidnapping.
This morning at 6am my female friend was walking and was grabbed from behind at the corner of 19th and Q NW from a man who tried to force her into his white sedan. She fought him off and he took off in the car.
In addition to the attempted kidnapping, he also took a backpack of her belongings. Description is a 20/30s black male, 5’11-6FT medium build with a black clothing and black facemask. We are working with MPD on this. Please be careful walking in this area and if anyone has footage from cameras on 19th or Q St please contact the 2nd District Police.”
