A 24-year-old Easton man was arrested in Milton Lower Mills on Thursday, Aug. 20, after a multi-agency police chase that began when a woman was allegedly held against her will in a moving car.

Boston Police received a 911 call shortly after 3 p.m. reporting a kidnapping associated with 555 Talbot Ave. in Dorchester, just across the Boston-Milton border, according to the Boston Herald. By 3:30 p.m., Milton Police had been alerted to look for the suspect vehicle.

Milton officers spotted a white Mercedes-Benz sedan on Blue Hills Parkway and attempted a traffic stop. The driver refused to stop and a pursuit began, Milton Police Deputy Chief Mark Alba said.

The chase wound through the Blue Hills Reservation, onto Route 93 and back into Milton on Route 28. During the pursuit, the female occupant made repeated gestures indicating she was in distress and needed help, according to Alba.

Officers from Milton Police, Boston Police and Massachusetts State Police converged on the white Mercedes at the intersection of Adams Street and Eliot Street around 4 p.m., WCVB reported. Sky5 aerial footage showed troopers and officers surrounding the sedan at that intersection.

The suspect was initially held in a Boston Police cruiser before being transferred to a Milton Police cruiser for booking. His name has not been released. Milton Police said he faces multiple motor vehicle charges in their jurisdiction.

The woman was evaluated at the scene by Coastal Ambulance. Her name was not released.

The white Mercedes was towed from the scene.

"The preliminary investigation suggests that the kidnapping incident is a domestic problem and not like 'someone was snatched off the street,'" BPD Sgt. Det. John Boyle said.

The underlying kidnapping allegation remains under investigation by Boston Police. No arraignment date or additional charges had been announced as of Aug. 21. Anyone with information can contact Boston Police detectives or Milton Police at 617-698-3800.
