Police in Las Vegas have arrested a man in connection with a video showing a young woman pleading for help at a stranger’s door before being kidnapped shortly after midnight on New Year’s Day.

According to ABC News, Darnell Rodgers, 23, was arrested in Las Vegas and has been charged with kidnapping and domestic battery.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department released doorbell footage from a home near Warm Springs Road and I-215 taken around 12:48 a.m. that shows an apparent kidnapping.

An unidentified woman, around 20-30 years old, runs to a house where she bangs on the door and screams for help. Directly behind her, a man around the same age gets out of a white Hyundai Sonata and charges toward her.

He can be seen pulling her from the door and throwing her to the ground before violently kicking her.

“Why would you f—ing do that?” he yells out. “Get in the car! Get in the car!”

He grabs the woman by her hair and drags her into the vehicle; the two are last seen taking off in the car.

Police report that the woman has been found and is safe. Rodgers was arrested Thursday and is at the Clark County jail.

A six-year-old boy who was thrown down from the 10th-floor viewing gallery at London’s Tate Modern museum is listed as stable but in a very critical state at a hospital as authorities on Monday said that they were still searching for a motive in the attack.

The Metropolitan Police said in a news release the 6-year-old boy was thrown from the tenth-floor viewing platform, landing on a fifth-floor roof before he was transported to a hospital by London’s Air Ambulance. As of Monday afternoon, police said the child’s condition was critical but stable and his life was no longer in danger. He remains at a hospital with his family, who are French nationals visiting London.

“This was a truly shocking incident, and people will understandably be searching for answers,” senior investigating officer DCI John Massey said in a statement.

A 17-year-old male is held in suspicion of attempted murder over the incident, which happened just while the gallery was packed with visitors.

“We are grateful for the support of the public, some of whom detained the male arrested in the immediate aftermath of the incident,” Massey said. “He was arrested by officers very quickly afterward.”

Nancy Barnfield told the Associated Press she was at the gallery with her family when she heard a “loud bang,” and then saw a woman screaming “Where’s my son, where’s my son?”

Barnfield said that a man on the platform was restrained by other visitors until police arrived. She said he “just stood there and was quite calm.”

Authorities said they don’t believe the suspect and victim knew each other, and the incident was “being treated as an isolated event with no distinct or apparent motive.”
