A man was arrested after allegedly stopping under the guise of helping a woman with car troubles, but instead kidnapped and sexually assaulted her.
Just after 1:00 AM on May 16, a woman was driving in Austin when she got a flat tire. She pulled over and called roadside assistance, and before they arrived, a man driving an SUV stopped to offer his help. He reportedly told her he could take her somewhere for a new tire. She took him up on his offer, and when she got into the vehicle, the man began driving.
Within minutes, the woman asked to be taken back to her vehicle. She also sent a DM to her friend to let them know her exact location. The man reportedly did not stop, and a few minutes later, he stopped at a local apartment complex. After parking the car, the man allegedly sexually assaulted the woman.
