Finally free after more than two months of horror. A woman was taken in by emergency services this Monday in Seffner, Florida (United States) after finally managing to escape the grip of a man who had been sequestering and torturing her for weeks.
After managing to escape, the woman ran to a gas station, as seen in surveillance video shared on social media, reports Fox 13. “She was screaming and crying and saying ‘ ‘I need help, I need help,’” said the employee who was managing the gas station cash register at the time of the incident.

Supported by emergency services, the American was hospitalized. There, doctors discovered numerous injuries, the result of more than two months of abuse. According to initial information, the man who held her hostage notably used a baseball bat and a screwdriver to torture her.
Noticing a suspicious vehicle passing the gas station several times, the police arrested its driver. A more than useful reflex for the investigation: the man, aged 48, had already been convicted of acts of kidnapping and torture. According to Fox 13, he promised his victim food and drugs to lure her before kidnapping her.
