Three people were arrested after a Maryland man was found running down the middle of the street after escaping from three individuals who he accused of holding him captive for almost 24 hours and attacking him.
According to reports, on the morning of March 9, a man whose identity has not been released was going to meet his girlfriend’s brother. They planned to work together on repairing his vehicle. While he was en route, three individuals, later identified as two men and a woman from Darlington, reportedly intercepted him and violently attacked the man before abducting him. After the alleged ambush, the trio reportedly left the man gagged and tied up in a garage for nearly 24 hours.
The following morning, the alleged captors went out, and the man saw it as an opportunity to try to get away. He was ultimately successful, but he was unable to take the gag out of his mouth and untie his hands from behind his back. He was spotted running down the middle of the street, and the authorities were notified.
