The woman was allegedly ignored by strangers as she screamed for help, before one Good Samaritan stepped in
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A woman was allegedly held captive in a California home for three days by a man she met on Tinder.
"On July 12th, 2021 at approximately 16:59, Oakland Police Officers were dispatched to the 5400 Block of Fleming Avenue to investigate a report of a kidnapping," the Oakland Police Department said in a statement of the incident. "A preliminary investigation revealed that an adult female (Non-Oakland resident) was falsely imprisoned and sexually assaulted by her male partner."
Her rescue unfolded Monday when her screams elicited a response from a Good Samaritan in the Maxwell Park neighborhood of Oakland. She told him she had been held captive for three days in a nearby home, according to the rescuer’s NextDoor post describing the events.

The suspect in the case reportedly approached the woman and Good Samaritan in a car, while police were called by the Samaritan’s family.
The suspect drove away as the woman stood "shaking, crying and almost incoherent," according to the post.

The NextDoor post by the Good Samaritan also lamented that the woman ran two blocks in the residential area begging for help, but was ignored until he offered assistance.

Other residents of the area expressed dismay by their neighbors not stepping in more quickly.
