Police are investigating the kidnapping of a Williamsburg real estate developer who was grabbed outside his office and thrown into a van as he left early Friday morning to go home.

Menachem Stark, 40, was leaving his office, Southside Associates, at 331 Rutledge Street late Thursday night and was walking to his home a few blocks away when two men approached him at 11:20 p.m. Thursday, grabbed him, and drove him away in a van, according to a flyer put out by Shomrim, a neighborhood watch group for the Orthodox community.

The NYPD confirmed that they got a report of a kidnapping outside of 315 Rutledge Street, but said it took place at 2:30 a.m. on Friday.

NYPD investigators canvassed Rutledge Street on Friday morning, pulling security footage from multiple security cameras near the scene of the kidnapping and speaking to local business owners.
