A man being sought in connection with an alleged abduction case turned himself in to the Martinsville Police Department on Wednesday, according to a news release.

Around 9:52 p.m. April 14, Martinsville police officers responded to 918 Blankenship Road in reference to an assault/possible abduction, the earlier news release stated. Officers found what appeared to be blood on the pavement as well as a shoe that belonged to a person who was assaulted, knocked unconscious and put in a dark-colored vehicle that fled the scene, the release stated.
