SAN ANTONIO — A man was arrested early Wednesday after investigators say he forced a woman into his vehicle at gunpoint near downtown San Antonio.
Jason Santos, 24, was arrested at the scene and is facing a kidnapping charge.
The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. near Terry Court and North St. Mary’s Street.
Police said a 22-year-old woman was inside her vehicle when a man pulled up next to her. Authorities say he pointed a handgun at her and demanded that she get into his vehicle.
Investigators said Santos then drove a short distance before stopping.
A witness who saw the encounter called 911, allowing officers to quickly locate both the woman and Santos. The woman was found safe, and Santos was taken into custody without further incident.
Investigators have not said what led up to the encounter or whether Santos and the woman knew each other.
The investigation remains ongoing.
