A 40-year-old man has been charged following the alleged kidnapping and torture of a woman in Mackay on Sunday evening, Queensland Police say.
It will be alleged on April 15 a group of up to five men and women confronted the 39-year-old woman at an apartment complex on Gregory Street.
The group became involved in a verbal altercation before the woman was allegedly assaulted in the foyer of the complex.
The woman was then allegedly led outside by the group and forced into a vehicle where she was struck a number of times with a metal pole before being driven to a location on Connors Road at Bakers Creek.
The group then allegedly dragged the woman from the car and further assaulted her with a pole before she managed to flee and hide before contacting police.
The woman sustained numerous lacerations, bruising and a suspected broken arm and was transported to Mackay Base Hospital for further treatment.
A 40-year-old Mackay man has since been arrested in relation to the matter and charged with one count each of kidnapping and torture and three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm whilst armed in company.
He is due to appear in Mackay Magistrates Court today.
Investigations are continuing.
