She fell barely 20 metres from a police beat base but continued running until members of the public came to her rescue.
While the incident comes as a surprise to residents here, what was more shocking was the victim's revelation that she saw a picture of 5-year-old Sharlinie Mohd Nashar, who was kidnapped, in Taman Medan, on Jan 9.
She told police that the men, who appeared to be drunk, also had pictures of other young girls in the van with some faces marked with an "X".
"She may have seen a missing person poster of Sharlinie which was widely distributed to the public but investigations are under way."
Technician K. Pradu, 23, who had seen her earlier as she walked past his shop, said he later saw her running in the distance.
"I thought she had wanted to cross the road to go to the bus stop but shortly after, I saw her running and falling down several times."
Pradu, who got into his van and drove towards her, found the girl gagged and her hands bound. He and other members of the public took several minutes to calm her.
"We then drove her to a nearby police station."
According to the girl, she was at the bus stop when the men drove up and ordered her to get into the van.
When she refused, they pulled her and drove off.
She told police that she recognised two of her abductors whom, she claimed, had robbed her family more than a year ago.
She said they had spoken among themselves during the incident about holding her for ransom.
Police took her to the Klang district police headquarters to have her statement recorded.
