Kidnap victim escapes as captor nods off

A 62-YEAR-OLD post mistress foiled the latest so-called “tiger kidnapping” by escaping from her abductor after he apparently injected himself with drugs and dozed off.

The woman had been subjected to an 11-hour ordeal after being jumped on by three masked men outside her home in Beaumont, north Dublin, at 6pm on Tuesday and bundled into the back of a white van.

The victim, named as Mary Noone, was taken to the Monkstown area.
