Two men accused of kidnapping and attacking a woman with a cricket bat have been arrested.

Last night in Brisbane's south, two men were charged in connection to the alleged kidnapping and assault of a 34-year-old woman. According to reports, the pair took the woman from her home in Morningside at around 7pm and brought her to different locations, including a nearby address in Bulimba and then to Birkdale in Redland.

It is believed that one of the men used a cricket bat to assault the woman and demanded money, as stated by the Queensland Police. Thankfully, the woman only suffered minor injuries and was taken to Redland Hospital for treatment.

What's even more concerning is that the trio are not strangers to each other, according to the police. This adds another layer to the already alarming situation.

The authorities have charged a 35-year-old man from Birkdale with various offenses, including kidnapping, deprivation of liberty, possession of dangerous drugs, and two counts of assault causing bodily harm, one of which was while armed. The other suspect, a 30-year-old man from Birkdale, has been charged with kidnapping.

Both men are set to appear in court today at Cleveland Magistrates Court. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as they become available.
