Man Abducts Woman From NYC Apartment, Crashes Car in Westchester: Police

New York state police say a man they believe abducted a woman at gunpoint has been taken into custody, hours after he fled the scene of a car crash.

Police say Johuan Ramos was tracked down hiding near a house in Greenburgh Monday afternoon.

They say Ramos is believed to have abducted the woman from a Bronx apartment during a domestic dispute and then driving north on I-87.

They say Ramos crashed the car at the Yonkers toll barrier around 5 a.m., and fled the scene.

The woman, who stayed with the car, was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Police say they observed bullet holes in the windshield of the car.

Charges were not immediately filed. It wasn't known if Ramos had an attorney who could comment.
