CHICAGO -- Chicago police are investigating a woman's claim that she was kidnapped, sexually assaulted and held captive for days.
The woman was walking to a bus stop in the Englewood neighborhood near the 6700 block of South Halsted Street last Saturday when she said a man in a pickup truck pulled over and punched her in the side of the head. He dragged her into his truck and drove her to a home in an unknown location and locked her in the basement, Chicago police said.

He was driving a older model, navy blue four-door pickup with rust over the wheels, police said.
