Police say a 13-year-old girl kidnapped in Texas was rescued in Southern California when passersby saw her hold up a “help me” sign in a parked car.

A Texas man has been indicted after he kidnapped a San Antonio girl at gunpoint earlier this month and drove her to Los Angeles, where she escaped by writing “help me” on a piece of paper, according to federal authorities.

The victim wrote “Help me!” on a piece of paper and managed to get the attention of a passerby who called police, authorities said.

The rescue occurred July 9 in Long Beach, south of Los Angeles, when officers responded to a trouble call and found the “visibly emotional and distressed girl,” police said.
