Toronto police say six men are in custody and two others are at large after a victim was allegedly kidnapped, assaulted and left in a remote area with serious injuries following an incident at a karaoke bar.

Officers were called to the area of Midland and Shappard avenues on July 19 about a kidnapping that had occurred a day earlier, police said.

Investigators said in a news release that the victim was allegedly lured into an establishment in the area and held against their will for “several hours” by eight men.

During that time, police said, the victim was assaulted and their banking and personal information was stolen.

After the men allegedly obtained cash from the victim’s bank accounts, police said the victim was dropped off in a “remote area” and was able to seek assistance.

The victim, whose age and gender were not disclosed by police, was transported to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

It’s unclear whether any of the six men charged, all of whom are from the Toronto area, knew the victim. They face a combined 30 charges and all appeared in a Toronto courtroom last month for bail hearings, the results of which were not released.
