Terrified woman pleads for help at stranger’s door after escaping from machete-wielding abductor in chilling video
Chilling home security footage captured the moment a terrified woman begged Oregon homeowners for help after she jumped out of a moving car to escape her alleged machete-wielding abductor.
The 47-year-old victim, who has not been identified, was first seen hiding in a stranger’s Portland driveway at around 1:30 a.m., Friday, just seconds after escaping her alleged abductor, Ring doorbell video obtained by KATU shows.
She then bolts for the stranger’s front porch, desperately banging on the door while the suspect’s car is seen parked at the end of the driveway.
“He’s trying to abduct me,” the woman yells as she pleads on the phone with 911.
Seconds later, her alleged abductor drives away from the house while the victim watches him take off.
The Portland Police Bureau reported that the victim was walking home when the suspect, Ra Fet, pulled over in his car and offered her a ride, which she accepted.
Fet, 25, allegedly began making sexual remarks to the victim and groped her when she entered his car, according to KATU.
Police told the outlet the suspect then pulled into a restaurant parking lot and pulled out a machete.
The victim then tried opening the door to get out of his car, but Fet “accelerated to a high speed, preventing her from leaving.”
“The victim began physically fighting the man as the man drove and he punched her in the face,” according to the Portland Police Bureau.
Fet slowed the car enough for the woman to jump out, but the suspect struck her in the nose before she made her escape.
She then ran down the road, where she was seen hiding in the driveway and banging on the stranger’s door for help.
Less than an hour later, police spotted the suspected kidnapper’s car and pulled him over.
Officers then had the victim identify Fet at the scene of that traffic stop, where she ID’d him as the man who sexually assaulted and tried kidnapping her.
He was then arrested and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center.
The woman was treated for “cuts and bruises.”
Fet — who is from Thailand — appeared in court on Monday with a Burmese translator.
He has been charged with Kidnapping in the First Degree, Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, Coercion, Menacing, Assault in the Fourth Degree, Reckless Driving, and Recklessly Endangering Another Person.
The Thailand national pleaded not guilty to all charges and will remain at the Multnomah County Detention Center without bond, according to KATU.
Fet was arrested in May 2023 for showing up at a family’s home and threatening them with a gun, according to the outlet.
Fet reportedly shot at the tires of the family’s car during last year’s altercation and was arrested and charged with menacing and criminal mischief.
In April alone, there were 22 reported kidnappings in the city of Portland, according to KATU.
That number nearly matches the 26 reported kidnappings that the city had in 2023.
