An off-duty Memphis Police Officer reported she was kidnapped by a man who threatened her with a knife early Sunday morning, according to multiple sources.

FOX13 is not identifying the officer, to protect her safety.  However, family members at the officer’s home confirmed the officer is the victim Tuesday afternoon.

Memphis Police tell FOX13 they were called to the I-55 North ramp near E.H. Crump Blvd. at about 6:00 Sunday morning. When they arrived, several motorists surrounded the victim.

The victim told police she was kidnapped at the corner of Poplar Ave. and Hollywood Street.

Police say the victim was approached by a man, and she refused his advances. Police say the kidnapper then stepped out of his vehicle with a knife, and “threatened the victim as he forced her into the car.”

The victim told police she jumped from the kidnappers moving vehicle as he merged onto I-55.

The kidnapper was driving a silver van, according to the police report. Police have not named a suspect.
