Police responded to the area of 1507 New Jersey Avenue shortly after 9:20 for a report of a possible kidnapping in progress. Two witnesses told police that they had just arrived home when they heard someone screaming.
The witnesses said they saw a Hispanic male shouting for help as he was pushed into a white minivan by a stocky black male. The victim was shouting in Spanish for help, asking for someone to call police.
The van quickly drove off on New Jersey Avenue toward Bacon Avenue.
