Six men have been arrested after Victoria Police discovered another man had been allegedly kidnapped and assaulted with a weapon inside an apartment suite.
Vic-PD says shortly before 11 p.m. on Sep. 7, officers responded to a report of a loud domestic disturbance in a suite in a multi-unit residential building in the 1300-block of Hillside Avenue.
At the scene, officers learned there had not been a domestic dispute, but rather a man had been assaulted with a weapon and was kidnapped from the suite by six suspects.
