Harrowing video shows armed thug snatch 16-yr-old girl from bus stop in Michigan

Harrowing surveillance video shows an armed man grab a 16-year-old girl, who thankfully was later rescued, off the street in a Detroit suburb.

Video obtained by TMZ shows the thug with a gun approaching two girls around 7 am on Monday, before grabbing one and dragging her across the street to his car.

The victim’s friend ran to a bystander for help, who called 911, according to TMZ.

“A young lady just told me that a girl was just snatched up by a man,” the woman told 911.

Thankfully, the police were able to track down the kidnapped girl 30 minutes later at a Sunoco gas station and arrest 48-year-old Donald Fields.

Fields, who has a criminal record, was arraigned in court on Thursday and charged with “2 counts of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree, 1 count of kidnapping, 1 count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, 1 count of felonious assault, and 5 counts of felony firearm,” TMZ reported.

X users weighed in on the frightening scene:

And he should never get out! Sexual predators are habitual with a thirst that gets bigger with time. There’s no cure and the next one will end up dead.

Why are they covering the license plate?

Good question. Perhaps a stolen car?

That’s actually terrifying, broad daylight and on camera too. Stuff like this really makes you realize how quickly things can go wrong.
