Louisville police released body camera video Tuesday showing officers rescuing a woman chained to a bedroom floor at a house in Kentucky last week.
On Aug. 16, police said they received calls from neighbors around 7 p.m. saying a woman was “screaming for help” from a bedroom window at a two story home in Louisville, Kentucky, the Louisville Metro Police Department said in a statement on Facebook.

Police said when officers arrived they tried to enter the house through the front door, but it was barricaded.
Video shows officers trying to kick down the front door and eventually using a ladder to climb up to second floor window where they found the woman with a chain around her neck that was “bolted to the floor with screws,” police said.
An officer used a hatchet found inside the home to break the chain connected to the floor, video shows. Responders later removed the chain around her neck.
Man arrested, charged with several felony and misdemeanor crimes
Police said they arrested a man two days after finding the woman chained to the floor.
Moises May was arraigned and charged with several felony and misdemeanor crimes, including kidnapping, intimidating a participant in the legal process, wanton endangerment, assault, terroristic threatening and harassment, according to court documents.
He pleaded not guilty Saturday morning, the Louisville Courier Journal reported, part of the USA TODAY Network.
Man reportedly took her phone so she could not call for help
According to an arrest citation, May and the woman were arguing when May allegedly grabbed her and held her down on a bathroom floor "while he used a machete to cut off a majority of her hair."
May then "slapped the victim around" before she was able to leave, the citation said.
After May allegedly threatened to kill the woman multiple times, he tied a metal dog chain around her neck and bolted her to the floor. He then reportedly took her phone so she could not call for help.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Monday.
