Question

What if the criminal is not using a van when he threatens you, and you have nowhere to run?

Try shouting "fire!" This will get other people's attention instead of just saying "I'm being kidnapped!"

Question

What should I do if the kidnapper has a gun, knife, or weapon pointed at my back?

If you have the opportunity, use the weapon on the kidnapper. Aim to incapacitate by targeting their hands or feet, allowing you to escape while they are recovering.

Question

What if it's nighttime, and only the kidnapper and the kidnapped person are outside?

Top Answerer

If you're bound, the type of restraint and the presence of a weapon will influence your actions. Look for something to defend yourself, like a pipe or rock. If the attacker is unarmed, use self-defense techniques. For example, if in a headlock, pull up an arm and place your foot behind the attacker's leg, keeping your knee bent to off-balance them. Then, elbow them to make them trip and release you.
