CCTV footage of a man, who escaped kidnappers in South Gloucestershire, has been released of the harrowing moment he was taken.
The 22-year-old victim was dragged out of the Blue Lagoon bar on Gloucester Road on December 15, before being assaulted in and put in a car.
Following the incident, which took place at around 10.20pm, he was driven to Bradley Stoke before he managed to escape.
TDCI Duncan Wood said: “This was a terrifying event for the young man involved and it’s fortunate he didn’t sustain any lasting injuries.
“Thankfully, incidents of this kind are rare in Avon and Somerset but when they do happen we take them extremely seriously.
“As part of our investigation we’re releasing footage from inside the Blue Lagoon in the hope the public can help us identify the men pictured.
“Do you recognise any of them? Did you witness the incident in or around the bar on the night of 15 December?
A 32-year-old man and a 28-year-old man have been arrested in connection with this incident. They have both been released on bail until February 17.
Officers have asked for anyone with information that could assist inquiries to call 101 immediately, providing the call handler with the reference 5216278474.
