WARREN, Michigan � A pregnant woman survived a brutal attack in Michigan 
after police said she was abducted, set on fire, shot and then left for 
dead.

The ex-boyfriend of the 22-year-old woman is being called �a person of 
interest� by police.

The victim tells police she and her ex-boyfriend had just returned from a 
drive-in movie in Dearborn when she dropped him off at the home of his new 
girlfriend in Warren.

The two pulled into the garage and then got out of the car. The garage 
door then suddenly closed.

Warren Police Commissioner Jere Green says the next thing she knew she was 
grabbed by the throat and a gun was put to her head.

Green says she was blindfolded, and duct tape was placed on her mouth and 
wrapped around her hands and feet.

The suspect then drove her around for about ten minutes before stopping in 
an alley in Detroit. 

The woman, who is nine months pregnant, says she felt liquid poured on 
her, then heard a match strike and then she was on fire.

Green says she was able to get out of the car and start rolling on the 
ground, trying to put the fire out. When that happened, two shots were 
fired and she was struck once in the back.
She played dead, and the man took off. She was able to free herself from 
the duct tape and then drove away, calling her mother from a gas station 
and then driving to her mother's home on Detroit's east side.  Her mother 
then took her to the hospital.

Police took her ex-boyfriend into custody for questioning. Police say he 
is a person of interest because he did nothing to help and did not call 
911.  He tells police he was sleeping and did not see the attack.

According to police, an ultrasound shows the unborn baby is healthy.

A spokesman for Detroit Receiving Hospital says the woman is listed in 
serious condition.  She is recovering from burns to her back and head. 
Police say the bullet wound to her back did not do any serious damage. 

She is due to give birth in three weeks.
