By Faith Karimi,

(CNN)The woman runs up to a house in Las Vegas and bangs on the door. Seconds later, a man jumps out of a white sedan and sprints up to her. He throws her to the ground and kicks her in the stomach as she tumbles down the home's front steps.

"Why would you do that?" he yells.

"Stop, stop, please," she sobs as he hauls her away by the hair and drags her to the car.

The kidnapping incident was captured on a home surveillance video at 12:48 a.m. on Wednesday, Las Vegas police said. The victim and her alleged captor have not been seen since and their identities are unknown.
