揹包客在澳洲被劫持 給其在英國的父親發定位獲救

A British backpacker who says she was held against her will during a car trip in Australia was rescued after texting her location to her father in England.

一位在澳大利亞旅遊時被劫持的英國揹包客，在給其遠在英國的父親發定位信息後獲救。

Mary Kate Heys, 20, had agreed to ride with a man to Brisbane.

據悉，20歲的瑪麗·凱特·海斯在事發前同意與一名男子同行前往布里斯班。

But when he drove in the opposite direction and refused to allow her out, she told her father to call police.

不過，該男子卻往相反的方向行駛且不讓海斯下車，於是她設法給英國的父親發短信讓其報警。

Police intercepted the pair at Gympie, 90km (55 miles) from the hostel, after her father contacted them.

最終，在她的父親報警之後，警方在距旅社90公里（55英里）外的金皮攔截了車輛。

Ms Heys, from Manchester, told local media that the man woke her at 04:30 local time on Monday at the Mooloolaba hostel.

來自英國曼徹斯特的海斯告訴當地媒體，同住在莫洛拉巴酒店的這名男子在週一早上4：30時叫醒了她。

She told 7 News she agreed to go on a road trip to Brisbane with the 22-year-old man from Sweden but he headed in the direction of Cairns.

她在接受7NEWS採訪時表示，當時她同意與這名22歲的瑞典男子一起去布里斯班探險。然而他卻開往了凱恩斯的方向。

"That is when I started to freak out... I knew it wasn't going to be a nice trip to Brisbane."

“那時我就意識到情況不妙，我知道這不會是一次去布里斯班的愉快旅行。”

She said she was "so terrified", adding he had "psychotic eyes" and it was "like he'd lost it".

她表示，自己當時非常害怕，並描述該男子“精神狂躁”，看起來好像是“迷失”了。

"He was talking about him being an alien with such passion that I actually kind of believed him."

“他一直在說自己是外星人，如此有激情，以至於我幾乎要相信他了。”

She texted her father in Manchester with her location as well as messages reading: "I need you to call Australian police" and "I've been taken by a man… please hurry".

隨後，她給在家鄉的父親發信息稱：“我需要你報警，我被一男子劫持了，請快點吧”，並把自己的位置發給了父親。

The 22-year-old driver, from Sweden, was arrested and taken to hospital for medical treatment.

這位22歲的瑞典男子在被逮捕後，就被送往了醫院接受精神治療。
