Qld: Police charge man over Coast abduction attempts
Police have charged a man over two recent abduction attempts on the Gold Coast.
The 34-year-old Nerang man will appear in Southport Magistrates Court today charged
with two counts of kidnapping, two counts of grievous bodily harm and one count of stealing.
The charges relate to two separate incidents on the Gold Coast.
The most recent was on Saturday morning when a 20-year-old woman was grabbed in the
heart of Surfers Paradise and thrown into the back of a car.
She escaped when her screams alerted a nearby unit owner at around 3.15am (AEST) and
confronted the man, who escaped.
The second incident relates to the attempted kidnapping of a 22-year-old woman at Southport
on February 28.
She managed to escape as well.
Both women suffered bruises and abrasions.
Police say the 34-year-old accused man was arrested on the banks of the Nerang River
late yesterday.
