A video circulating on TikTok is warning pedestrians to remain vigilant after claiming to show a street abduction technique targeting young students. The cautionary clip breaks down CCTV footage showing an alleged kidnapping attempt disguised as a routine request for directions in broad daylight. As highlighted in a viral video posted by TikTok creator @denslowperlin, the narrator states, “Stay alert. This is a new trick kidnappers are using,” warning viewers to remain vigilant during encounters with strangers and in some cases, friends. According to the footage, the suspect allegedly uses a book to disorient victims during brief interactions, echoing the kinds of scams and public safety warnings that frequently circulate on social media. The narrator explains that “a man approached a woman on the roadside pretending to ask for directions,” but after she ignored him, “he quickly changed targets,” turning his attention to a schoolgirl. The narrator claims the suspect used a chemically treated book The video breakdown details how the suspect targeted a student on her way to class who paused to point him in the right direction. While the victim was talking, the narrator notes that “he stepped closer and held a book up in front of her face.” The video claims that the book was “treated with a substance meant to make someone dizzy,” which the narrator claims caused the student to become disoriented moments later. “Her steps slowed, her head dropped, and she was losing control,” the narrator points out as the student walked away. @denslowperlin #scary #scarystories #horrortok #creepy #trending ♬ original sound – Aisha’s Big Sister HorrorStory What made the alleged scheme particularly dangerous was the coordinated effort between multiple individuals in a public space. The narrator observes that “the same woman who ignored the man earlier suddenly rushed in, acting like she wanted to help.” According to the narrator, an alert bystander recognized that something was wrong before the pair could allegedly carry out their plan. “A woman dressed in white noticed something was wrong,” the narrator says, adding that “she realized both of them were working together.” The narrator claims the encounter ended after the bystander threatened to call police, prompting the pair to flee. “When she stepped in and threatened to call the police, they panicked and ran off before they could take the girl,” she concludes. The video does not identify where or when the alleged incident occurred, and no police agency or official source is identified to verify the claims made in the footage.
