Police in a west Valley suburb of Phoenix are asking the public to help identify two people involved in an apparent assault and abduction at a gas station.
The incident happened at a Circle K near Intersate 10 and Watson road in Buckeye, police said on Facebook.
Surveillance video shows just after 10 p.m. that evening, a gray SUV pulled up to a gas pump before a female got out of the passenger seat and started running towards the convenience store. A man can be seen getting out of the driver's seat, grabbing the female and dragging her back into the vehicle.
The SUV that police say resembles a 2021-23 Nissan Rogue then took off on Watson Road heading towards Interstate 10.
