Possible Abduction of Woman in Downtown Philly Being Investigated as Domestic-Related Incident

Police say a man may have knocked a woman unconscious during an argument in Philadelphia, put her inside his minivan and then drove off.

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.
