PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Police say two people were abducted during an armed home invasion in Northeast Philadelphia.
It was early Saturday morning that police say several armed suspects confronted a family as they returned to their house on Princeton Avenue, near Bustleton Avenue in Oxford Circle, then forced their way inside.
Police say the suspects restrained the family and took personal belongings before abducting two of them at gunpoint and taking them to another location, where they were physically harmed.
Officers attempted to intervene on the 2000 block of Albright Street near Frankford Avenue. It was there that an officer fired his gun. No one was injured. The suspects ran away. They remain at large.
The victims were freed by officers and treated for their injuries. An investigation is underway.
