American police in Kentucky found a woman who had been chained and held captive inside her home for two days. Officers from the Metro Louisville Police attempted to break into a house by smashing doors and windows after neighbors reported hearing the woman's desperate screams for help. When they were unable to do so, they climbed the building to reach a window on the second floor.
Fortunately, the woman was able to break a window in the room where she was held, prompting one officer to climb the ladder to access the incredibly dirty room, where he found her chained and crying hysterically. The police later stated, "The woman had a chain around her neck, secured with a special lock and anchored to the floor with screws."
In the video, the crying woman can be heard apologizing to the officer, telling him that her captor had kept the lock key on his keychain. After finding an axe, two officers freed the chain from the floor of the room and assisted the woman in leaving the house.
In the moments following her rescue, the traumatized woman continued to tremble and cry, while firefighters used bolt cutters to safely remove the locked chain from her neck. The perpetrator, Moises May, 36, was arrested two days after the woman's rescue. He allegedly held her captive in the home the day after a physical altercation between them, during which he grabbed her in the bathroom and chopped off most of her hair with a machete before chaining her to the floor and taking her cellphone to prevent her from calling for help.
