An incident in downtown Philadelphia's posh Rittenhouse Square section in which police thought an unconscious woman may have been abducted Monday evening is now being investigated as a domestic dispute, police sources tell NBC10.
Police on Monday said that an unidentified man and woman argued on Walnut Street near 20th about 6:30 p.m. Monday and that the argument turned physical and the man may have knocked the woman unconscious before placing her into a minivan and driving away.
Police said from the outset that they believed the woman knew the man, but they initially did not reveal any details on their relationship. A source on Tuesday said that investigators have reason to believe the man was the woman's boyfriend and that the fight and ensuing attack on the woman were domestic-related.
The woman is not believed to be missing, but police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. No criminal charges have been filed.
