SAN JOSE — A teenage girl was kidnapped and sexually battered while walking to school in San Jose on Wednesday morning, police said.
Few details of the incident were released by police, but in a statement authorities said they later arrested a person after a traffic stop in which officers drew guns.
According to police, the 15-year-old girl was on her way to school when the suspect approached her and pulled her into his vehicle. From there, police said he proceeded to sexually batter her.
