A gas station clerk in Detroit helped stop a kidnapping after trusting his instincts during a tense encounter. Abdulrahman Abohatem was working his shift when a man walked in with a 16-year-old girl, and he immediately felt something was wrong about the situation.
Things moved fast when the man told the teenager to pay for cigarettes. Abohatem stepped in right away, sensing the girl was in distress. “When he asked her to pay for the cigarette, I said, ‘Stop. There’s something wrong.’ And she mouthed, like talked to me like with no sound, ‘Help,'” Abohatem recalled.
