Police have issued a major update after a woman was seen being snatched from a Florida street in broad daylight.
Chilling CCTV footage captured a man appearing to kidnap a woman using his pickup truck on New Year's Eve.
The woman was first seen standing alone on West 52nd Street and 27th Avenue in Hialeah, near Miami International Airport.
Behind her, the white truck that she would later be dragged into can be seen stationary.
In the next still, the woman is then seen apparently arguing with a man - before he grabs her by her hair and neck and pulls her towards the white Ford F-150.
Now, police have confirmed that 49-year-old Jose Manuel Gonzalez had been taken into custody.
He now faces charges of kidnapping and domestic battery - with the woman revealed as his partner.
The woman has been located safe and without injuries in Hialeah following what police called a domestic altercation.

The building manager's son said he did not recognise the victim - but was shocked by what he saw.
Other neighbours indicated they had previously seen the pickup truck in the area.
Police confirmed the pair were known to each other and that the abduction was not a random act.
The dispute escalated when the woman was visiting acquaintances at the location and Mr Gonzalez arrived, allegedly forcing her into his vehicle.
Authorities have not disclosed what sparked the initial argument.
