A severely injured 17-year-old boy from Philadelphia was rescued overnight following a standoff between a SWAT team and a trio of suspects who police say had abducted him at gunpoint from his family’s home.

The incident began unfolding at 11.30pm on Sunday, when police were called to an address in the 6600 block of Tabor Road in Northeast Philadelphia.

Family members said they heard sounds of struggle coming from the basement, and when they went downstairs, the 17-year-old boy was gone, even though his car was still parked outside.

According to police, a blood trail and three bullets were found near the residence, and a bullet hole was said to have been located in the basement, reported the station WPVI.

Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said investigators were able to track the kidnapped teen's phone to a property a mile away in the 6200 block of Trotter Street.

When police surrounded the home, the suspects had barricaded themselves and the victim inside.

A SWAT team and hostage negotiators were summoned to the scene. Following a brief standoff, the three suspects, described only as a man and two women, all in their 20s, agreed to surrender at 2am.

Police then entered the home and found the kidnapping victim bleeding profusely from lacerations to his head and face. Small said the boy was drifting in and out of consciousness as he was being transported to St. Christopher’s Children’s Hospital.

Police have not revealed a motive behind the kidnapping, but said they believe the victim has a history with at least one, if not with all three, of the suspects.

The alleged kidnappers, who have not been named as of Monday afternoon, were expected to face kidnapping and assault charges.
