A 55-year-old man faces kidnapping and aggravated assault charges after a woman escaped his apartment covered in blood. Demian Edgar Austin Robbins is jailed in Salt Lake County following witness reports of screams and visible injuries on the victim.

Police responded to neighbor calls and found the woman with bruising and scratches, claiming she was attacked repeatedly. Court documents say Robbins refused to open his door and barricaded it shut. The incident unfolded in a residential complex Wednesday evening.

SLCPD confirmed the case does not involve domestic violence, complicating potential motive clarity. Witnesses say the woman fled after grabbing Robbins in a sensitive area during an escape attempt. Authorities have not disclosed further details about their relationship or what led to the altercation.
