A 24-year-old woman was rescued from a man who was holding her hostage for five hours after she used Grubhub, the popular food delivery service, to contact police, according to a criminal complaint obtained by CNN.

Per reports, the unnamed woman and suspect had met in person for the first time after previously chatting online via a dating app. The situation, however, quickly escalated and grew violent, with the suspect taking away the woman's phone and only allowing her to use it to order food.
