From Prince William police:

Abduction | Domestic Related On September 13 at 11:40PM, officers responded to a residence located in the 3100 block of Arrowhead Ct in Woodbridge (22192) to investigate a domestic disturbance. The victim, a 36-year-old woman of Woodbridge, reported to police that she and the accused, an acquaintance, were involved in a verbal argument which escalated. During the encounter, the accused prevented the victim from leaving the room and, at one point, held her in a bathroom. The victim screamed which prompted neighbors to contact police. Officers arrived and, upon hearing additional screaming, forced entry into the home finding the victim in the bathroom. The victim was not injured. Following the investigation, the accused was arrested without further incident.
