By Efe.- A man was accused of kidnapping after allegedly keeping his partner captive for four years in a trailer in northern Harris County (Texas), according to local media reports.
Abraham Bravo Segura, 42,
was arrested Wednesday night after the victim managed to ask authorities for help.

All the trailer doors and windows were locked.
There were bars on the windows and three pistols were found inside the place.
The firefighters who came to rescue the woman could not cut the padlock that kept the door closed from the outside, so they had to cut the bars on one of the windows to rescue the woman, the television station reported.
Bail was set
at $150,000
for Bravo, who had a prior conviction for misdemeanor possession of marijuana in 2006.
