Police body camera video released Tuesday shows the rescue of a woman who was found chained to the floor of a Louisville, Kentucky, home last week.

The video shows a Louisville police officer trying to enter the home around 7 p.m. Wednesday after a neighbor reported hearing screaming, police said.

The officer eventually uses a ladder to reach the second floor, where the window had been broken out, the video shows.

Inside was a crying woman with a chain around her neck and a padlock, and the chain was attached to the floor.

Moises May, 36, was arrested two days later, and police said in a statement he was alleged to have kidnapped the woman a few days previously.

Online court records showed a next court date for Monday. It was not clear from online records whether May had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
