Authorities Friday were looking for a man and a boy in what was described by police as an assault of a woman and a “possible parental kidnapping” of the child in Hollywood.
Officers sent to the 1500 block of Vine Street about 8:10 a.m. found a woman who had been injured, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The woman, in her 30s, apparently suffered a “strangulation to her neck” and was taken to a hospital for treatment in unknown condition, police said.
Investigators were told that a juvenile was missing, and the case was classified as a “possible parental kidnapping.”
The man who was being sought was described as Black, with black hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds. The boy was described as Black, with black hair and brown eyes, 2 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 25 pounds. His age was not disclosed.
Police said the man and boy left in a 2019 4-door dark gray vehicle, possibly heading toward Van Nuys. Details of the relationship between the man, woman and boy were not released by police.
