Man charged after 'abduction'

Katey Caven: Seen knocking on a window in Brixton, London

A man has been charged after the alleged abduction of a woman over the New Year.

Avon and Somerset police said the 39-year-old unemployed man from Bath, Somerset, was charged with kidnapping and false imprisonment.

He was arrested after Katey Caven was seen knocking on the window of a flat in Brixton, south London, early on Saturday morning. Mrs Caven, 38, of Bathford, Somerset, was seen getting into a car in nearby Bath last Wednesday.

The man will appear before Bath magistrates on Monday.
