Rape, abduction in Harrisburg, PA on Easter

A person allegedly abducted and raped a 27 year old woman in Harriburg, PA Easter afternoon.

Mayor Stephen R. Reed said a 27-year-old woman told police she was walking on Berryhill Street at about 3 p.m. Sunday when she was abducted by a black male driving a white car.
The victim, whom Reed did not name, told police she was forced into the vehicle and driven to a location under the State Street Bridge off Cameron Street. There she was taken out of the car and raped, she told police.

The suspect, described as 5-8 with close-cropped brown or black hair, drove away. The victim called police from the nearest pay phone.

Reed said police later recovered the victim's jacket from the crime scene. He described the victim as being from the region but not a city resident. "We believe the story to be credible," Reed said. "We are treating it as an abduction-rape case. There are multiple felonies involved."
