Disturbing moment woman attacked in suspected Las Vegas kidnap

This is the shocking moment a woman was attacked outside a home in Las Vegas, in what police are calling a suspected kidnap.

Detectives in the Nevada city launched a search for both the victim and her apparent attacker, after a doorbell camera captured the distressing incident shortly after midnight on New Year's Eve.

In the video, the woman can be heard sobbing as she runs up to the house and starts banging frantically on the door.

A man can then be seen in the background jumping out of a white car and sprinting towards her.

She cries “please” as he grabs her and throws her to the ground, before kicking her hard in the stomach.

As she tumbles down the front step he yells “why would you do that?” before telling her to “get in the car”.

The woman pants as she tries to get away while the man swears and repeats “get in the car”.

He then shoves her back down the path and into the vehicle, which is believed to be a white Hyundai Sonata with a sunroof.

The full uncensored video was sent by the shocked homeowner to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, who then posted it on YouTube as part of a public appeal for information.

Authorities do not yet know the identities of either the victim or the suspect, nor their current whereabouts.

A cash reward is being offered for anyone providing information that leads directly to an arrest or indictment through the Crime Stoppers of Nevada website.
