A teenager has been charged after a man was allegedly kidnapped from the street and held hostage for days.

The 53-year-old was allegedly set upon by four men wearing balaclavas outside a tobacconist on Meadows Road in Mt Pritchard, Western Sydney, about 6.15am on Tuesday.

Footage shows the group sprinting out of frame before reappearing moments later, lifting the man as he struggles to break free.

He was allegedly assaulted and bundled into a waiting Hyundai hatchback before being driven to a property in Dural, where police allege he was held for two days.

Officers stormed the property about 10.30am on Thursday, freeing the man and arresting a 16-year-old boy.

The victim was assessed by paramedics at the scene before being taken to hospital in a stable condition.

The teenager was taken to Castle Hill Police Station and has since been charged with taking/detaining a person in company with intent to ransom occasioning actual bodily harm, possessing a shortened firearm without authority, and participating in a criminal group contributing to criminal activity.

He was refused bail and is due to appear before a children’s court on Friday.

Police have not yet revealed a motive for the alleged kidnapping.

The Mt Pritchard tobacconist and a neighbouring grocery store have previously been targeted in a series of incidents, including firebombings, a ram raid and an armed robbery.

The Dural property is about 25 kilometres from where 85-year-old grandfather Chris Baghsarian was held before his death in an alleged case of mistaken identity.

Baghsarian was allegedly abducted from his North Ryde home on February 13.

His body was found 11 days later near a golf club in Pitt Town.

Two men have been charged over his alleged kidnapping and murder.

There is no indication the two incidents are linked.
