A suspect was in custody after he abducted his fiancée from her workplace in Deerfield Beach Thursday morning.
The incident happened just after 9:30 a.m. when deputies responded to a call of a kidnapping at the business in the 2000 block of West Sample Road, Broward Sheriff's Office officials said.
The employees of a massage school said an angry man came into their front lobby, jumped the counter, and pushed people around to get to his fiancée. He eventually forced her into his car and drove off.
“I know that some of my students saw him dragging her and holding her and some of the people in the building saw her and him," said witness Jessenia Morales. “I ran, I called the cops right there and then, the cops got here and the guy left in the car like a maniac and he took her.”

The suspect later dropped off the victim at a local hospital, officials said.
Deputies began searching the area and the suspect was found a short time later at a gas station on North State Road 7 in Margate.
Footage from Chopper 6 showed the suspect in handcuffs being placed into the back of a BSO vehicle.
