Toronto police say they’ve made another arrest in an ongoing abduction investigation.

They say they have charged a 19-year-old man with kidnapping for ransom, forcible confinement, robbery and assault along with credit card-related offences.

Police say a 21-year-old man was walking downtown in mid-November when he was approached by four individuals.

They allege one pulled out a stun gun while another choked and robbed him.

Police allege they forced him to withdraw money from a bank machine and later took him to a motel where they held him until he raised his credit limit.
