Police say a victim of a kidnapping in Melbourne managed to escape by causing a bomb to explode in the hand of their captor.
According to the police, a young man from Melbourne had the courage and quick thinking to escape from a terrifying kidnapping situation. It all started when a group of men abducted the 29-year-old from a venue in Cranbourne and brought him to a property in Dandenong back in June. The poor victim was then subjected to threats involving homemade explosive devices, which must have been a terrifying ordeal to say the least.

However, the tables turned when one of the devices unexpectedly detonated in the hand of a 38-year-old suspect. The suspect sustained critical injuries and was later taken to the hospital, where he was dropped off by his accomplices. Meanwhile, the victim took advantage of the chaos and managed to escape, sustaining only minor injuries in the process. It's truly a miraculous escape and a testament to the victim's bravery and resourcefulness.

As a result of this incident, the injured suspect from Cranbourne has been charged with various offenses, including false imprisonment, possession and use of unauthorized explosives, illegal possession of a firearm, handling stolen goods, and manufacturing and storing unauthorized explosives without permission. He was released on bail and is scheduled to appear in court on October 18.
