A concerned passerby helped Chicago police rescue a woman who said she had been abducted, raped and chained inside a home that had been abandoned for decades over the weekend.
While Antoine Dobine was walking in the city's Pullman neighborhood, he heard screaming coming from a house that appeared to be vacant, WFLD-TV reports. Dobine then called police and waited for officers to arrive.
"As I get closer (to the house): 'Help!' Bam, bam, bam!" he told the TV news outlet. "I said, 'Who is that?' 'Help!' That's when I called police.".
When officers went inside the house, they found a 36-year-old woman chained in an upstairs bedroom. She told police that she had been held in the house for days, and she had been raped during that time.
Residents in the area told WFLD that the home had been vacant for over 30 years, and other homes on the block also appeared to be abandoned.
"Now I fear for every woman in that community, because (the attacker is) still at large," Dobine said.
