Last updated 14th Mar 2022
Police have issued an urgent appeal for witnesses after a woman was dragged off the streets and into a car in West Bromwich.
It happened in Hill Top at around 9.40pm yesterday evening (Sunday).
It's understood a woman was waiting by a bus stop when she was approached by a man who, after exchanging words, pulled her across the road and into a vehicle being driven by another man.
A witness has described the woman being in distress and shouting, and officers have serious concerns for her well-being.
The man who approached the woman is described as white, bald and in his 40s.
It's believed the car was a grey BMW X5.
Police are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and may have witnessed what happened - or any motorists with dash-cam who may have caught the vehicle on video - to get in touch.
It comes as police over in Coventry investigate a 'potential kidnap' after a woman was heard screaming inside a white van as it was driven off.
It's believed to have happened at about 8:40 last night in the Cheylesmore area of the city.
Police haven't confirmed whether the two incidents are linked.
