SEATTLE -- Police have released surveillance video of an attempted kidnapping on Capitol Hill that occurred on Tuesday.



Police say a 29-year-old woman was walking home in the 1600 block of Bellevue Avenue when she saw a man standing besides a dark blue truck. As the woman passed the man, he reached into his truck, then jumped out, grabbed her by her arms and told her to get in the truck, police said.

The woman began screaming and the man let go, jumped in the truck and drove off. Police say the victim was shaken but not injured.

The suspect was described as a white man in his 40s, between 5 feet 8 and 5 feet 10 inches tall with a medium build, wearing a dark beanie or wool cap. He might have had a cigarette in his mouth at the time.

He was driving a dark blue 2000 Chevy Silverado extended cab pickup with tinted windows.

If you have any information on the case, you're asked to call Seattle Police Detective Michelle Gallegos at (206) 684-5767.
