An assault and apparent abduction in Burlington Thursday afternoon has police asking for the public’s assistance.

The incident took place in the Queensway Drive and Cleta Street area near Guelph Line and Highway 403, according to the Halton Regional Police Service.

An unidentified man was walking on the south side of Queensway Drive between 1:45-1:50 p.m. Thursday when two vehicles, a silver Dodge Caravan and an older model two-door black Honda Civic, pulled up and stopped.

One suspect exited the passenger side of the Caravan while the driver and a passenger from the Honda exited their vehicle. They chased an unidentified man, who appeared to be assaulted by the three suspects on a residential property on Cleta Drive. He was then put into the van, with evidence suggesting it was against his will.

The silver Caravan was last seen going southbound on Cleta Drive towards Glenwood School Drive.

The driver of the Caravan did not exit the vehicle and no description is available, but the passenger is described as a white male with a slim build, wearing camo shorts and no shirt.

The driver of the Civic is described as a white male with a tan baseball cap, black pants with white stripes down the legs, wearing shoes and a white T-shirt.

The passenger in the Civic is described as a white male with black track pants, black hoodie with hood up wearing high-top shoes.

The unidentified male appeared to be in his 30s, wearing dark shorts and a black and green T-shirt.

Police are concerned for the safety and well-being of the unidentified man and would like to speak to anyone, including that man, who can provide information about this incident.
