The ABC understands a member of the public contacted police after they heard a male voice screaming for help from the boot of a white car parked off Woodville Road.

Local officers, who arrived a short time later, found a man tied up in the boot of a Toyota sedan, which had an Uber sticker affixed to its rear windshield.

The 29-year-old man was treated at the scene for stab, burn and assault injuries to his head and leg before being taken to hospital in a stable condition.

Vision from scene shows the man alive, being stretchered into the back of an ambulance with a bloody face.

A single underarm aluminium crutch was also found in the boot of the Toyota sedan.

Police said they believe the man was kidnapped from Military Road in Guildford between 4pm and 5pm on Saturday.

Sources with knowledge of the case have told the ABC the victim is so far not cooperating with police.
