Nottinghamshire Police said officers were called in the early hours of Friday (3 February) after a woman reported a man trying to kidnap and assault her after she had flagged down a car.
The victim, in her 40s, was left with cuts and grazes to her arms and legs but was not seriously injured after the incident on Carlton Road, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, just after 4.40am, police said.
The force said an investigation led officers to a suspect who was arrested shortly after the incident.

The 45-year-old has been remanded into custody and is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Monday (6 February).
