CCTV footage has captured the horrifying moment a Sydney man was allegedly kidnapped from a tobacconist shop in the city’s south-west.
Footage obtained by 9News appears to show the 53-year-old man being approached by four men in balaclavas outside a tobacco shop on Meadows Road in Mount Pritchard about 6am on Tuesday before they try to snatch him.
He tried to fight them off, but was bundled into a Hyundai hatchback and taken to a property in Dural, according to police.
