While in the car, according to police, the woman managed to call 911. She gave dispatchers the approximate location of where they were going without alerting the man driving.

Precinct 5 deputy constables were able to stop the car without incident. The woman was unharmed.

She was driven home. The man, however, has been taken into custody.
