Story summary

A 15-year-old girl escaped from her alleged kidnapper after being repeatedly stabbed in a Baltimore basement on October 22, as captured in surveillance footage released November 2. According to charging documents, Abubakarr Barrie, a 23-year-old unlicensed cab driver and illegal immigrant from Sierra Leone, picked up the teen last Thursday outside her sister’s house and took her to his rented basement property where he allegedly stripped and stabbed her before she fought back with a fire extinguisher. The girl sustained multiple injuries but managed to flee naked and bleeding at 8:52 PM.

Barrie entered the US illegally in December 2023, was arrested by Border Patrol, and then released under the Biden administration. In July 2026, he was arrested again in New York City for possession of a forged instrument, but "sanctuary policies" prevented his transfer to ICE custody. He was subsequently released only three months before this incident.

Barrie faces charges including attempted first-degree murder and kidnapping in Maryland. The DHS has lodged an immigration detainer against him since his arrest on October 24.
