Harrowing surveillance footage has captured a Washington state barista narrowly escaping a man who tried to drag her through a drive-thru window during a suspected kidnapping attempt Monday.

The disturbing incident took place around 5 a.m. at a coffee stand located in the 2200 block of Auburn Way in Auburn, police said.

In a video shared by authorities, the female barista hands a male customer driving an SUV what appears to be some change, and in that moment he grabs hold of her hand and forcefully yanks it toward him.

According to police, the suspect then “attempted to drag the victim through the window using a looped zip tie device.”

The woman managed to pull her arm back into the window and close it, and the customer drove off.

Auburn police said in a tweet cops arrested the suspect Tuesday after “overwhelming support from the community.”

Police said before the unidentified man’s capture, that he had a distinct tattoo on his left forearm that appears to spell out “Chevrolet.”

Kolby Crossley, with the Auburn Police Department, described the abduction attempt to Fox 13 as “very alarming.”

Crossley said the victim suffered minor cuts to her arm.

The owner of the business where the incident took place told KOMO News her entire staff has been shaken up by what happened. She also said the woman who escaped being kidnapped has worked at the business for 15 years.

They didn't say it in the article, but because this happened in Washington state, I'm guessing it was one of those bikini barista coffee drive-thrus.

It looks like they got the guy, but there's no information being released right now.

Why UK news sources have more up to date information on this case than American ones do is beyond me.

AUBURN, Wash. — The man accused of attempting to abduct a barista in Auburn appeared in court for the first time Wednesday.

A King County judge found probable cause for attempted kidnapping with sexual motivation and assault and set Matthew Darnell's bail at $500,000.

A formal charging decision is expected later this week.

Surveillance video shared by Auburn police shows Darnell, 38, trying to pull the barista into his car as she was handing him cash at a drive-thru window early Monday morning. When he couldn't grab the woman, the video shows him trying to throw a zip tie around her head.

The woman was able to fight off Darnell and he quickly drove away in a dark grey SUV.

Police posted the surveillance video on social media Tuesday in hopes of identifying the him. They also noted a large tattoo on his left forearm that appears to read "Chevrolet".

Darnell was arrested on Tuesday at his home in Auburn.
