BUCKEYE, AZ — After releasing a concerning surveillance video that garnered attention online nationwide, Buckeye police say they have safely located the apparent victim.

Last month, the Buckeye Police Department asked for help in identifying two people they said were involved in a possible abduction.

In the video from a Circle K gas station near Interstate 10 and Watson Road, a woman could be seen getting out of a vehicle before being grabbed and dragged back into the vehicle by the man who was driving.

Officials said Tuesday that the woman believed to be in the video has since been contacted by police and is not injured.

Police say it appears to have been a domestic violence incident.

Witnesses and anyone with direct knowledge of the incident are still urged to call the department's tip line at 623-349-6411.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, resources are available online and by phone or text.
