BOSTON — An Allston woman has told police she was abducted early Sunday after getting into a ride-share car at Faneuil Hall, but eventually freed herself and returned safely to Allston with the help of a passerby.
The woman, who is in her early 20s, told police she called a Lyft car around 12:50 a.m. She got into a car that appeared shortly afterward, although it is unclear whether the car was a Lyft car or a ride-share car at all.
The driver took her 30 minutes north and stopped at a gas station, where another man came up to the car and tried to grab her through the back window. She told police she kicked the back door open and ran off.
