A teen girl was kidnapped by a sketchy rideshare driver, who allegedly stripped and stabbed her in his Baltimore basement before she made a daring escape by bashing the creep with a fire extinguisher.
Abubakarr Barrie, 23, allegedly snatched the 15-year-old after she accepted a ride from the unlicensed cab driver outside her sister’s house last Thursday, according to charging documents obtained by People.
The teen told cops that after she entered the cab, she asked Barrie to drop her off at a restaurant in the city, but the cabbie jetted off in the wrong direction, the documents state.
When the girl pointed out they were going in the wrong direction, Barrie “immediately became violent” and put her in a headlock, the docs alleged.
The creepy cabbie then took the girl to his home in the city, where he dragged her to a room in his basement and “advised her to put her phone down and not to scream,” the charging documents read.
Barrie then allegedly assaulted her, ripping her clothes off and stabbing her, according to the papers.
But the brave girl fought off her captor – whacking him with a fire extinguisher – then made her escape from the house.
The teen ran out naked and bleeding and knocked on a neighbor’s door, where she was lent a phone to call emergency services and her mother, according to court documents.
The 15-year-old girl was treated at a local hospital for five stab wounds and a collapsed lung, authorities told WBFF.
Barrie was eventually tracked down by investigators thanks to information provided by the teen. He was arrested and charged with counts of attempted murder and assault, according to the outlet.
He was denied bond at a hearing on Monday. He is due to appear in court on Nov. 25.
Contact information for Barrie’s attorney was not immediately available.
