A 15-year-old girl miraculously escaped after being allegedly kidnapped and repeatedly stabbed by an unlicensed cab driver, Abubakarr Barrie, who entered the U.S. illegally and was previously released by New York officials despite an ICE detainer.
Recently released surveillance video shows a 15-year-old girl fleeing a Baltimore basement after being allegedly kidnapped and stabbed multiple times by Abubakarr Barrie, 23. Barrie, an unlicensed cab driver from Sierra Leone, entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 and was released by the Biden administration. He had been arrested in New York City months prior for possession of a forged instrument, but city officials refused to honor an ICE detainer. The girl sustained severe injuries to her chest, ear, shoulder, back, and ribs but managed to fight back with a fire extinguisher and escape, leading to Barrie's arrest on charges of attempted first-degree murder and kidnapping. DHS officials have criticized both the Biden administration's border policies and New York's sanctuary city policies for the incident.
