Uber driver charged with kidnapping after allegedly trapping woman in car in Boston

An Uber driver faces a kidnapping charge after allegedly trapping a woman in a car in Boston last week.

Police arrested Kamal Essalak of Acton, Mass., on an outstanding warrant from Boston Municipal Court after a woman said he would not let her out of the vehicle on Thursday, despite her requests and screams.

The Boston Police Department said the woman entered the vehicle at about 8:30 p.m. after requesting a ride and noticed the driver “was behaving strangely,” according to a release. In response, she requested to be dropped off, but as the vehicle stopped, she found child safety locks on the rear doors, “trapping her inside the vehicle.”
