23-year-old held in custody over kidnapping and assault of a 15-year-old girl

In Baltimore, a judge ordered Abubakarr Barrie, a 23-year-old Uber Eats delivery worker, held in custody on October 26, 2026, over an alleged kidnapping and assault. Court documents say the 15-year-old girl got into his car on October 22, believing it was an unlicensed taxi, before he allegedly drove her to a house and stabbed her repeatedly. Despite her injuries, she reportedly struck her alleged attacker with a fire extinguisher and escaped to seek help; she was hospitalized with several stab wounds, including one that caused a collapsed lung. Investigators reportedly traced Barrie through the Cash App payment details, the description of a white Hyundai, and the location of the girl's iPhone.
