A 22-year-old man is facing a string of charges after allegedly holding an 18-year-old teenager captive for several hours and assaulting him at a residence in north-west Brisbane on Friday.
Police allege the two men, who are known to each other, were inside a residence in Keperra when the older man would not let the teenager leave.
It's alleged the accused punched the teenager in the head and hit him with a wrench a number of times between the hours of 1 am and 6 am.
According to police, the alleged victim was able to escape at around 6 am and contact authorities.
