A McDonald’s drive thru window became a window of opportunity for a woman trying to escape her alleged abductor.
Police have arrested a man in connection with an assault and abduction case last week.
According to court records, on July 13, Levenski Crossty, 26, broke into a home where a woman he knew and her children were house sitting.
“He pushed in an air conditioner and came in through the window,” the victim, who WLWT is not identifying, said.
Police said Crossty assaulted the woman, then forced her and her four children into her car. Once in the car, Crossty drove off but would stop periodically to assault the woman again, police said.
The victim told WLWT she was beaten several times -- even bitten -- in front of her children.
“It was just a very chaotic scene altogether,” Cincinnati Police Lt. Steve Saunders said. “The suspect was physically assaulting the victim inside the vehicle she’s traveling with him in, causing some serious injury to her to the point she had to be hospitalized.”
At a McDonald's drive-thru in Saylor Park, police said, the woman jumped from the car and tried to give her 2-year-old child through the window to a worker, but Crossty grabbed the child and drove away, leaving the woman behind.
“I think she was really trying to hand the child off to some employees through the drive-thru window,” Saunders said. “There was some push and pull of the child back into the vehicle, which the suspect in this case was able to get the child back in the vehicle.”
Crossty dropped all of the children off at the victim’s mother’s home, unharmed.
He has been charged three felonies, including aggravated burglary, abduction and felonious assault. He’s also charged with two misdemeanors, theft and domestic violence.
Bond for Crossty was set Thursday at $300,000.
