Police have launched a kidnap probe after a teenage girl was grabbed in an underpass.
Thames Valley Police said the victim, in her late teens, was walking through the underpass in Burnham, Buckinghamshire when she was approached by the man.
At first he talked to her but then he grabbed her by the waist and started dragging her away before he fled and she managed to call police.
Police confirmed they are treating the incident in Burnham Lane, Burnham at 9.30am on Monday as kidnap.
A police spokesman said: "She managed to grab on to some railings and call the police on her mobile phone. At this point the offender ran off. The victim sustained cuts to her hand and elbow."
The suspect has been described as Asian, 5ft 7in, with facial stubble. He was seen wearing a grey jumper or sweatshirt with a red top underneath, a dark coloured jacket and tan-coloured trousers.
Detective Constable Stuart Malham said: "We want to speak to anyone in the area at the time of the incident, in particular several people who passed the victim as she was being held by the man.
"They may have assumed there was a domestic argument going on. This was not the case and any information they may have could be vital to the investigation."
A 34-year-old man, from Slough, Berkshire, has been arrested on suspicion of kidnap.
