Florida police officers rescued a woman on Sunday after her ex-boyfriend allegedly kidnapped her from her apartment at gunpoint and held her hostage, authorities said.

Tyre Snead, 24, entered the woman’s home around 5:45 a.m. while she was sleeping, Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan said. Snead woke the woman and a second victim, holding them at gunpoint while he demanded money and searched the woman’s purse, according to investigators.

Snead then forced the woman into a vehicle he had stolen from her the previous day and drove away, Dugan said. Officers later located Snead at his apartment, where Dugan said he had been holding the woman hostage for more than four hours.

The Tampa Police Department released officers’ body camera footage of the moments leading up to the rescue “to spotlight the hard work of the men and women at the Tampa Police Department," Dugan said.

As officers began evacuating Snead’s neighbors, the suspect opened his door and immediately shut it upon seeing the police, the video shows. Officers are seen using a battering ram to break open the door before shouting “Put your hands up!” and “Get on your knees!”
