UPDATE: Karol Sanchez, who was allegedly kidnapped in the Bronx, returned safely to her family after meeting with police. According to New York CBS Local, Sanchez staged the entire kidnapping with the help of four accomplishments because of family issues.
Karol Sanchez, a 16-year-old girl from the Bronx, was kidnapped late Monday night while walking down the street with her mother. Two men jumped out of a vehicle at approximately 11:30 p.m. ET when they grabbed the girl and pulled her into the car.
The mother attempted to hold on to her daughter, but she was eventually shoved to the ground before the vehicle drove away.
The New York Police Department has since released video of the moment Karol was kidnapped.
