LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville Metro Police said they have made an arrest after rescuing a woman chained to the floor of a house in the Park Hill neighborhood on Wednesday.
Officers arrested 36-year-old Moises May late Friday afternoon in connection with the incident.
Police said officers went to a two-story house in the 1700 block of Bolling Avenue around 7:00 p.m. after neighbors called about a woman screaming for help.
When the officers arrived, police said they heard and saw a woman in distress in the second-story window.
Authorities said officers tried to get into the house from the front door but it was barricaded, so instead, they found a ladder and climbed in through the window.
The incident was captured on video and posted to social media.
Once inside, police found the woman "had a chain around her neck, which was secured by a MasterLock, and that chain was bolted to the floor with screws."
Officers rescued the woman by ripping the chain from the floor, and police said she was treated by both Louisville Metro EMS and the Louisville Fire Department.
May is facing several charges including kidnapping, wanton endangerment and assault.
He is currently being held on a $100,000 cash bond.
