Police at Indiana State University released the surveillance video of what originally was reported as an abduction.

Officers were called out after a man was seen forcing a woman into a mini-van near the juvenile justice center parking lot. The video shows the woman kicking the side door of the mini-van.

"This lady ran to the justice center, tried to get into one of the doors, the door was locked. She was banging on the door,” said Bill Mercier, Director of Public Safety.

After the video was shown in Terre Haute, a man called police saying the man in the van was his son.

The man and woman are both found and safe tonight.

Police are calling the case a domestic dispute.
