Police have issued a major update in the search for a woman seemingly abducted from her own doorstep in Kansas.

CCTV footage - a 20-second Ring doorbell video - of the moment the woman is dragged away from her home had gone viral online.

In the clip, recorded at around 2am on Sunday, a woman could be seen resisting as a man pulled her out of frame in Wichita, in the Sunflower State's south.

Local police went on to launch an urgent plea for help identifying the woman involved.

Wichita Police Captain Aaron Moses told Fox News the clip had given his team "a strong starting point" in their bid to find her and ensure she was safe.

"The challenge is, this is the only piece of evidence that we have at this time," Captain Moses said. "We think someone out there does recognise her."

Speculation had surged that the apparent kidnapping was cartel-related - but police were quick to caution there was no indication of a link to organised crime.

Now, the force has revealed that the woman involved had stepped forward to contact police.

At around 3pm on Tuesday, investigators received a phone call from a woman claiming to be the individual seen in the video.

"Investigators immediately responded to her location, made contact and transported her to City Hall so detectives could conduct a victim interview," the Wichita Police Department said in a statement.

Police went on to ID the woman as a 35-year-old resident of North Volusia, the area where the video was recorded.

The statement continued: "At this stage of the investigation, we believe this incident is a case of domestic violence where the female was victimised by her boyfriend."

And in a positive twist, police confirmed the woman involved had not suffered any serious injuries.

Detectives are still carrying out interviews - with the case set to be handed to the appropriate attorney's office where charges could be put forward.

Police also hailed the public for spreading the video online, confirming: "We do believe it led the female to call us saying she was the person we were looking for."
