Man arrested over knifepoint abduction

A MAN of Eastern European origin was arrested yesterday in Fermoy following an intensive manhunt after a young woman travelling to work was abducted at knifepoint from a garage almost two weeks ago.

The woman pulled into a Texaco service station in Fermoy, Co Cork, at around 7am on Thursday, December 8.

As she was preparing to leave, a man jumped into the passenger seat and put a knife against her chest.
