Police are hunting two men after a 24-year-old woman was abducted and robbed after attending a concert at the SECC in Glasgow.
The woman had initially followed one of the men, who had borrowed her mobile phone then walked off with it, at about 2300 GMT on Tuesday.
She was then forced to walk with the other man, taken by taxi to the city centre and told to withdraw cash.
The woman ran off near Buchanan Street Bus Station before calling for help.
One of the suspects is described as a black male, about 5ft 7in tall, aged about 25, with a thin to medium build, short dark curly hair and brown eyes.
He was wearing a black shiny jacket with fur lined hood, black tracksuit trousers and white training shoes. He may have been called "Sneddy".
The second suspect is described as a male with sallow skin, about 5ft 7in tall, with a skinny build, long greasy dark gelled-back hair, crooked bottom teeth and large eyes.
He was wearing a light coloured long-sleeved top, navy jogging bottoms and black shoes.
Taxi journey
Police said the woman allowed one of the men to use her mobile phone after the concert.
She followed him after he walked off with it towards the Clyde walkway.
While doing this the woman was approached by another man who forced her to walk with him. He told her that if she did then he would get her phone back.
The woman was then forced to get into a black hackney taxi with the second man near the Clyde Arc bridge.
"We are currently examining CCTV footage in an attempt to trace the two culprits responsible for this abduction and robbery"
Police said the woman noticed that the taxi driver appeared to be concerned for her. Two men also asked her if she was okay.
The woman was then forced to walk to Buchannan Bus Station where the man who had originally taken her phone appeared.
Both men then asked her to hand over the money she had withdrawn.
After doing so, the woman screamed and ran towards a nearby group of people.
She used one of their mobile phones to call for help.
Det Insp Andy McWilliam, of Strathclyde Police, said the woman was not injured during the two-hour ordeal.
'Distressed state'
"We are currently examining CCTV footage in an attempt to trace the two culprits responsible for this abduction and robbery and we are also very keen to speak to a number of people who spoke to the woman during her ordeal," he said.
"It is vital that we speak to the driver of the black hackney who drove the woman and one of the suspects to the city centre - we know that the driver seemed concerned about the woman's distressed state at the time.
"We also would like to speak to the two men who asked her if she was okay as she withdrew the money from the cash machine and also the group of people that she eventually ran to when she escaped from the suspects near to Buchannan Bus Station.
"This group of people, both men and female and around five in total, were standing in St Mungo Avenue."
