A violent abduction in Carmel Mountain Ranch left a 21-year-old man with minor injuries and one of the suspected kidnappers under arrest Friday.
The victim was confronted and forced into a vehicle by two acquaintances in the 11800 block of World Trade Drive about 10:30 a.m., according to San Diego police. The captors drove the victim around the area, demanding money from him. When he failed to comply, one of them assaulted him, Officer Tony Martinez said.
After holding the victim for about five minutes, the abductors released him in the 11800 block of Stoney Peak Drive. The victim reported what happened, and police arrested one of the alleged kidnappers later in the day. The other man who allegedly helped carry out the crime remained at large, Martinez said.
The names of the victim and suspects were not released.
