A home surveillance camera captured the events around 5:50 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, near 40th Avenue and Indiana Street.

The video shows what appeared to be a young woman running from a vehicle. A man chases her down, picks her up and throws her over his shoulder. She appears to put up a fight, but he's able to get her back into the car.
