TWO good samaritans who saved a woman from being abducted could have important evidence about her attacker, say police.
Detectives are keen to trace the pair, who intervened as a man tried to drag a 20-year-old woman into his off-white Peugeot 306 car, at about 1.30am yesterday, outside the Marsden Inn, Marsden Lane, South Shields.
The two men, who were passing by, came to the woman's rescue and she was able to flee the scene.
She was shocked by the attack, but otherwise unhurt. A 27-year-old man was last night helping police with their inquiries.
Anyone with information is asked to contact South Tyneside CID on 0191-454 7555, extension 65145.
