WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Authorities have confirmed that the woman involved in a suspected abduction has been located unharmed, as reported by the Wichita Police Department.

Investigators were alerted around 3 p.m. on Tuesday when a woman contacted them, claiming she was the individual captured in the surveillance footage.

According to police, the 35-year-old resides near the location where the video was taken. Law enforcement continues to interview her, treating the situation as a potential domestic violence case involving her partner.

Officials confirmed that she did not sustain any serious physical injuries.

“Our gratitude goes out to the community for disseminating the video and images, which heightened awareness of this case. We believe this public response prompted the woman to reach out and identify herself,” the Wichita Police Department stated in a press release.

Police said there is no danger to the public.

In the video, which was captured by a doorbell camera and released by the Wichita Police Department, the woman is heard letting out a scream as a man grabs her from behind and marches her back toward the street.

Nexstar’s KSN spoke to the homeowner who caught the entire terrifying situation on camera. She said she didn’t want her interview to be filmed, but told KSN she’s shaken up by what she saw.

She also told KSN she does not know who the woman in the video was, or why she came to her home.

Neighbors who talked to KSN said the woman’s blood-curdling scream had the whole community on edge.

“The community, we’re all concerned,” said neighbor Shawntrice Beard. “I stay really close. I stay right down the street, I’ve been staying here for approximately over a year now, and like I said, it’s alarming to see this transpire and take place definitely in our community. Things do happen, but not like this.”

“I know that if it happened to me, I would want the community actively trying to pursue and see what’s going on,” Beard continued. “I don’t want it to be something unnoticed or just go unscathed without being investigated fully,” she said.

“We’re a community and we have to stick together,” she said.
