“The video I saw was very graphic,” Dayton police Maj. Brian Johns said during a Friday afternoon media briefing.
The attack took place around 10 p.m. Monday at the United Dairy Farmers gas station at East Siebenthaler Avenue and North Dixie Drive.
The man pulled up to a gas pump in a dark-colored SUV. He went inside the convenience store and purchased some items before coming outside and pumping gas, Johns said.
“Our victim was beaten and stomped,” he said. “He stood and stomped on her neck for several seconds and we are very concerned about her well being.”
The man reportedly dragged the woman into the SUV while she was unconscious.
Police announced at 7:13 p.m. Friday on social media that the victim had been found and was alive.
Initially, police asked for the public’s help to identify both the suspect and victim.
UPDATE: The victim has also been located and is alive.
