<P>About an hour earlier, another man was accosted at gunpoint by two robbers
who took $25 and his keys while he was in his car behind his home in the 2800

<P>The abduction victim told detectives he was approached by two men in the 2300
block of N. Charles St., where the nonprofit has an office, threatened with a
black semiautomatic handgun and forced to climb into the back seat of his green
1997 Toyota Avalon.

the men ordered him into the trunk and drove around for a short time, police
said. About 1 p.m., the car stopped and the victim opened the trunk, escaped and
called police.
<P>Police found the car shortly after 5 p.m. in the 1400 block of Carswell St.
in Northeast Baltimore.
