A 39-year-old Woodbridge man was charged in an abduction of a woman in South Arlington.
The assailant followed a young woman into an apartment building on the 4200 block of South 31th Street around 3 a.m. Thursday and got into the elevator with her. As the woman got off the elevator, the man wrapped a towel around the woman’s head and forced her into a nearby stairwell. The woman’s boyfriend heard the struggle, chased the attacker and then was assaulted himself.
Leon Lamont Lynch, 39, was charged with abduction with the intent to defile and was being held without bail.
