Crypto investor charged in NYC for kidnapping, torture of Italian tourist, police say

Two people have been arrested in New York City for the kidnapping and torture of a tourist from Italy, according to police. 

John Woeltz, 37, was barefoot and dressed in a white bathrobe as he was escorted by NYPD officers down the steps of a home at 38 Prince St. in SoHo. He was questioned at the 5th Precinct and later charged with two counts of second-degree assault, and one count each of first-degree kidnapping, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, and criminal possession of a firearm.

A witness said it was a very chaotic crime scene.

“We saw police running this way and then there was just a lot of screaming,” Molli Sramowicz said. “Police with their guns out, then the SWAT team came in, then a fire truck.”
