Woman Who Escaped Assault By Jumping Out a Window Was Not Abducted: Princeton Police

Princeton, NJ -- A woman who claimed she was assaulted on Green Street last week actually was not abducted, as initially reported, Princeton Police confirmed on Thursday.

The unidentified woman said she was walking north on Witherspoon Street near Green Street at 9:45 p.m. Friday night when she was attacked.

She said Arnoldo Agreda-Rodriguez, 43, of Princeton, hit her from behind and dragged her to 20 Green Street.

The assault continued until the woman was able to escape by jumping out of a window.

She was taken to Capital Health with multiple injuries.

Agreda-Rodriguez was arrested at his home on Monday and charged with one count of terroristic threats and one count of simple assault.

On Tuesday, Princeton Police revealed that Agreda-Rodriguez knew the woman. On Thursday, the Princeton Packet reported that the two went to the vacant house on Green Street together, and then Agreda-Rodriguez assaulted the woman. Police Chief Nicholas Sutter told the newspaper the woman was traumatized by the incident, and that she has not been charged with filing a false statement to police.

Princeton Police confirmed to Patch that the woman was not abducted. They also confirmed that there was no sexual assault involved, and no weapon was used during the attack.

Agreda-Rodriguez is an undocumented immigrant, and Princeton Police say they followed all police protocols. Police were unsure if he faced the possibility of deportation.
