Body camera footage has just been released of a “dramatic rescue” as it unfolded in Kentucky on August 16. Louisville Metro police officers were forced to climb through a shattered second floor window to reach the woman. They soon learned that she had been chained to the floor for two days. Thankfully, neighbors heard her screams before Moises May returned home. He had threatened to kill her.
Hostage rescue unfolds
An unidentified Kentucky woman was rescued by police, thanks to alert neighbors. When nearby residents heard the faint cries for help, they did the right thing and dialed 911. The entire rescue was captured on video.
The animal who left his victim chained to the floor of a second floor bedroom was separately captured two days later.
When they arrived, officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department quickly discovered that her rescue wasn’t going to be an easy one. They “tried to break into the building by kicking down doors and windows.” Police soon learned these weren’t the ordinary kind, so cops didn’t have a whole lot of luck with that.

To them, the home was “completely barricaded.” The captive was able to give them an assist and break out the “window to the second-floor room where she was being held captive.” A fast moving neighbor shouted, “I got a ladder!”
By then, a substantial crowd had gathered in the street to watch the rescue as “footage shows one of the officers ascending the ladder into the dilapidated home where the hysterically sobbing woman was chained.”
Somewhere in the clutter of the home they found a hatchet which they used to break the chain. After that, paramedics used some bolt cutters to get the padlock cut free from around her neck.
Bolted to the floor
As soon as he climbed “over the broken glass and into the filthy bedroom, the cop grabs the dirty chain from the woman’s neck and attempts to calm her down.” Police note that “the woman had a chain around her neck, which was secured by a MasterLock, and that chain was bolted to the floor with screws.”
The key, she sobbed was on her captor’s key-chain. That’s okay, police assured, we don’t need one. After her rescue, they helped her outside for medical attention.
The traumatized woman continued to shake and cry as she sobbed out her dramatic tale. Two days after the rescue, police caught up to 36-year-old Moises May. He has a child with the woman.

Police added later that he allegedly trapped his victim inside their home “after they had an argument that turned physical when he held her down in the bathroom and chopped off the majority of her hair with a machete.” Those details come from his arrest report.
After that, the woman left but made the mistake of coming back alone for her belongings. He locked her in the room with a deadbolt and came back with the chain. She was left that way until her rescue. “You’re gonna get it tonight. I told you the next time you leave and don’t come home, I’d kill you,” he threatened “after forcing her to take off some of her clothes and slapping her.”
He confiscated her phone so she couldn’t call for help and “stormed out.” They’re charging him with “one count of kidnapping, intimidating a participant in the legal process, wanton endangerment, assault, terroristic threatening and harassment.“
