A woman was possibly kidnapped while boarding a bus in East Los Angeles, authorities said May 23.

The incident occurred about 8:40 p.m. Monday in the 3800 block of East Third Street where a man confronted the victim from behind as she attempted to board a Montebello Transit bus, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The incident was captured on surveillance cameras, and the suspect was seen driving a white vehicle, possibly a 2022 Honda Civic, the sheriff’s department said.

Video also shows the bus driver and another passenger trying to intervene during the confrontation, but the suspect broke a window on the bus and retrieved a handgun from a nearby vehicle, according to the sheriff’s department.

“The suspect pointed the handgun at the bus driver and appeared to coerce the female into the nearby vehicle, driven by the male suspect,” officials said.

The man then drove away toward the eastbound 60 freeway and out of view, the sheriff’s department said.

The woman is described as Hispanic in her mid-20s, approximately 5 feet, 6 inches tall, about 130 pounds, with brown hair. The man was also described as Hispanic in his mid-20s, about 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and between 170 to 190 pounds, according to the department.

Anyone with information on the case was urged to call the sheriff’s tipline at 562-946-7893; the East Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station at 323-264-4151; or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
