NBC New York obtained exclusive video that shows the torture victim running down the street after his escape, 17 days into captivity, and seeking help from a police officer.

What to Know

An Italian man escaped from a house on Prince Street in New York City last week, where he said he had been held captive for 17 days and allegedly tortured by two business partners
Two NYPD members, including a detective on Mayor Eric Adams' security detail have been placed on modified desk duty after links surfaced to the two crypto businessmen charged with kidnapping an Italian tourist, sources tell News 4
The detective allegedly provided security for the Prince Street townhouse where the Italian man was held and it's believed he may have picked up the tourist from the airport and brought him to SoHo, sources tell News 4
City Hall said it is "disturbed by these allegations" and the investigation into the officer's behavior is ongoing
John Woeltz, was arrested in his bathrobe outside the scene; he is expected in court on kidnap and torture charges, among others, on Wednesday. A second suspect, William Duplessie, surrendered in connection with the case a day ago

Note: There are two headlines for this, one on the actual article page and a different one in the embed description. The post title is the one from the article. The headline from the embed description is "Crypto king torture investigation takes shocking turn".
