MIAMI – Miami-Dade police detectives are asking the public’s help in identifying a man accused of kidnapping and robbing a woman who had just parked her vehicle inside a Miami parking garage.
Police say it happened March 23 at around 8 a.m. in a parking garage in the 12000 block of Biscayne Boulevard.
Authorities say a woman was parking and as she exited her vehicle, the suspect placed her in a chokehold.
The suspect, according to police, then brandished a knife and threatened the victim to remain quiet. He threw the victim to the ground and restrained her wrists with zip ties and proceeded to force the victim into the rear seat of her vehicle.

The suspect fled the scene on foot.
Surveillance video shows the suspect wearing an orange shirt and sneakers.
