Abduction arrest after Woodbridge incident
On September 10, the suspect sought in connection with an abduction reported in the 2700 block of Noble Fir Ct in Woodbridge (22192) on September 6 was arrested. Adar BULUT, 25, of Falls Church, turned himself in to police and was taken into custody without incident. He was charged with two counts of abduction and one count of reckless driving. Court date pending; status unavailable.
On September 6 at 12:33 a.m., officers responded to the 2700 block of Noble Fir Ct in Woodbridge to investigate a reported abduction. The investigation revealed the victims, a 32-year-old woman and a 25-year-old woman, requested a ride using the Lyft app to transport them from an event in Maryland to their residence. The driver of the Lyft vehicle, later identified as the accused, picked the women up and proposed a discounted rate be paid directly to him instead of through Lyft. While dropping off the victims, an argument ensued over the price of the ride and the accused prevented the victims from leaving the vehicle, driving a short distance before allowing the victims to exit the vehicle. No injuries were reported by the victims. Officers obtained arrest warrants for BULUT; attempts to locate him were initially unsuccessful.

As the group dispersed, the suspect stabbed both of the victims, a 49-year-old man and a 32-year-old man, in their upper bodies before leaving the area on foot. Both victims sustained injuries that were later determined to be non-life threatening and were transported to an area hospital for treatment. During the investigation, both victims became uncooperative with investigators. Preliminarily, this incident is not believed to be random, and there is no threat to the greater community.
