The dramatic rescue occurred after a vigilant security guard overheard a suspicious phone conversation and acted swiftly to prevent the tragic outcome.
According to eyewitness reports and a video circulating on social media, the suspect had already tied the victim’s hands and gagged her mouth inside the hotel room when help arrived.
