UNION CITY A 26-year-old New York woman who was sleeping in her car says she was kidnapped to a nearby town and raped by a stranger.
The woman had been inside a vehicle left running in the midtown area of Kennedy Boulevard in Union City.

When the rapist fled, she realized that she was in the downtown area of North Bergen, officials said.
The victim described the attacker as a light-skinned Hispanic male in his mid-forties with a medium build.
