A Chinese student who was violently kidnapped by a stun-gun toting gang of masked men in Canada has been found safe and well, police say.

 

Wanzhen Lu, 22, showed up at a home in Gravenhurst, Ontario, asking for help on Tuesday evening.

 

He was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries, York Regional Police spokesman Andy Pattenden said.

 

Lu was snatched on Saturday evening as he walked through an underground car park in Markham, north of Toronto.

 

A 35-year-old man was arrested in connection with his abduction but was later released without charge.

 

At a press conference on Tuesday, Pattenden said four suspects being hunted over Mr Lu’s kidnapping are still at large.

 

“We’re very concerned that they’re still out there, and I can tell you that the investigative efforts are far from over. We’re going to continue with this until those four suspects are found and brought into custody,” he said.

 

The home where Mr Lu was located is about 180 km (111 miles) north of Toronto where he was grabbed by three men after exiting his car with a female friend
