A young woman was found semi-naked and distressed in a west London street days after she was kidnapped near a busy Tube station.

The woman, aged in her early 20s, was discovered by a member of public in west Ealing after the ordeal, which left her needing medical treatment.

She had disappeared four days earlier after she was approached by two men in a silver car in Haven Green, close to Ealing Broadway station.

The passenger got out of the car, grabbed the woman and bundled her into the back seat before getting in after her.

The car was then driven off, police said.

The incident happened between 10am and 11am on Friday, August 18, and the woman was found the following Tuesday after she escaped from an address.

The driver of the car was an Asian man, aged in his late 20s, while the passenger was a white male, described as being tanned, also aged in his early 20s.

Police said the victim and one of the suspects were known to each other.

Scotland Yard would like to speak with the member of public who helped, who was aged in her late teens to early 20s, spoke with an Irish accent and had purple hair.

A 21-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and bailed until mid-September.
