Story summary

A 15-year-old girl was kidnapped by Abubakarr Barrie, a 23-year-old unlicensed cab driver in Baltimore, on October 22, 2026. After accepting a ride from him outside her sister’s house, she was taken to his home where he allegedly stripped and stabbed her multiple times before confining her to a basement room. The girl fought back by using a fire extinguisher to hit Barrie, allowing her to escape naked and bleeding at around 8:52 PM, as captured on surveillance footage.

Barrie, who entered the US illegally in 2023 under the Biden administration, faces charges including attempted first-degree murder and kidnapping. He was previously arrested by the NYPD in July for possession of a forged instrument but was released due to what some call "sanctuary policies." DHS claims that New York sanctuary politicians refused to honor an ICE detainer request for Barrie.

Despite her severe injuries—causing a collapsed lung—the teen managed to flee and seek help. The incident has sparked debates over immigration policies and the safety of unlicensed drivers.
