A 16-year-old girl was saved from a kidnapper in Michigan after a gas station employee saw her mouth the word 'help' to him. The unidentified teen was waiting at her bus stop around 7am on April 13 in Hamtramck when Donald Fields allegedly placed something on her back and forced her into a van at gunpoint. While the girl was snatched, another girl, who also attends Frontier International Academy, watched in horror and called 911 immediately while Fields drove away.
Other chilling footage captured the moment Fields allegedly snagged the girl at the bus stop. The police department blurred out the girl in the clip, but in the very beginning, a man, who appeared to be Fields, grabbed her. He then sped away in the car as the other girl came running before calling the police.
Fields allegedly sexually assaulted the innocent girl inside the van before pulling the vehicle into a gas station parking lot and walking with her inside the convenience store. Around 30 minutes later, the suspect stopped at a Sunoco gas station, where his plan began to unravel. Inside the store, clerk Abdulrahman Abohatem noticed something unusual when the man asked the visibly distressed teenager to pay for cigarettes.
Abdulrahman Abohatem was behind the counter that morning when Fields and the girl entered the store as the suspect asked the minor to purchase cigarettes for him. Recognising the silent plea, Abohatem acted immediately. He stepped out from behind the protective barrier, confronted the suspect, and forced him out of the store.
He then guided the teenager to safety behind him. He then came out from behind the protective glass, confronted Fields, and brought the girl to safety. Seeing officers outside, Abohatem pointed directly at the suspect and told them that was the guy.
Officers with the Hamtramck Police Department immediately set out to hunt for the missing teen at her school, and were soon made aware she was at the gas station after several of her fellow students tracked her location on their cellphones. Police quickly traced the signal to the gas station and arrived on the scene as the confrontation unfolded. Responding officers then told other police units to rush to the station, where they found Fields walking out of the door and the girl inside with the heroic clerk who brought her to safety.
Police bodycam footage captured the moment officers pulled up to the gas station and arrested Fields. He was seen walking out of the store by himself when officers told him to put his hands behind his back. They then brought him over to the hood of a patrol car and latched the handcuffs on his wrists.
Fields then showed officers where his car, a BMW SUV, was parked by the gas pumps and was told he was being detained. The man was swiftly arrested without further incident. Fields was charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, one count of felonious assault, and three counts of felony firearm.
After the detectives began investigating, they found out that the mother of the child pushed her, kicked her out of the window.
He was also charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm because he has a criminal history of sexual assault charges. Police say the suspect, described as having a history of rape-related allegations, forced the girl into his vehicle in what authorities believe was a random attack. The teenager was safely recovered and is expected to be reunited with her family.
Authorities confirmed that the victim and suspect did not know each other. A quick-thinking gas station worker is being praised after helping rescue a kidnapped teenage girl during a tense confrontation in the US. At the same time, fellow students who had witnessed the abduction earlier had alerted authorities and helped track the girl’s phone location.
A 16-year-old had been abducted at gunpoint just after 7am on Monday while waiting for her school bus in Michigan, according to the Hamtramck Police Department. A 4-year-old girl in Louisiana showed up at an emergency room with multiple bone fractures. The child was taken to Ochsner Medical Center on April 8, 2026, with fractures to both wrists and forearms.
Early reports claimed the child fell from a second-story window. Hospital staff contacted police and learned that the child hadn't fallen on her own. The mother, 37-year-old Sharonica Davis, allegedly forced her from the window in a bizarre attack.
Bossier City Police Department Sergeant Shawn Poudrier said detectives and Child Protective Services began looking into the child's injuries. Police arrested Davis before learning she allegedly kicked the child out the window. By the time investigators suspected the mother had forced the 4-year-old out the window, Davis was already in custody at the Caddo Correctional Facility.
