Police took to the streets of an east Atlanta neighborhood Thursday night, handing out fliers of a sketch of a man they say attempted to abduct two women.

One of those women said the man stuffed her into his trunk, but she was able to get out. The woman, who asked not to be identified, talked to Channel 2's Amy Napier Viteri, walking her through each step of her escape.

"I've never run so fast in my life," the woman said.

She told Viteri she's still recovering from her ordeal. She has road rash on her body and face from when she jumped from that car.

The woman said the incident began when a man approached her as she sat on her friend's porch about 2 a.m. Wednesday.

The woman said the man grabbed her by the collar and forced her at gunpoint into the trunk of his car.

"He was wearing a mask, but it's crazy. The hair is what's freaking me out. That's definitely the hair," the woman said, looking at the sketch police developed of the man wanted in the incident.

When she was locked in that trunk, she said, the only thing she was thinking about was how to get out. She said she clawed her way through the lining of the trunk and, in the dark, struggled with a latch until she got it open.

The woman said she jumped from the speeding car and ran to a nearby home for help.

"When I jumped out of the car is when the reality of the situation hit. It was like, 'Oh man, I just jumped out of a moving vehicle.' I clawed my way out and jumped and landed on my face," the woman said.

Police said 20 minutes after the woman got away, the same man targeted another woman on Hawthorne Street.

Investigators said when the man tried to force the second woman into his car, an off-duty officer who lives nearby heard her screams. He ran the man off but gave investigators a description.

Police canvassed the neighborhoods Thursday evening.

Maj. Keith Meadows with the Atlanta Police Department said finding the man is a priority before he does this again.

"You know he was violent towards both victims in this case, and we do know that violence has a tendency to escalate from time to time," Meadows said.

Police said there are no common factors between the two women, and it's unclear what motive the man had.

"What do you think this guy was going to do with you?" Viteri asked the woman.

"I actually haven't thought about that, because that's terrifying," she answered.

The woman told Viteri the man was in his late teens or early 20s at the oldest.

Police said he was driving an older-model dark sedan. They have stepped up their presence in the neighborhoods, and they're hoping someone recognizes the man.

Anyone with information about the man is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
