A second teenager has been charged over the terrifying abduction of a nurse who was allegedly shoved into the boot of his own car by masked men armed with knives and a gun.
Nicholas Dines, 18, is facing multiple offences in relation to the alleged kidnapping of 25-year-old Joe Brooker including deprivation of liberty and torture, according to 7NEWS.
The teen did not appear alongside his alleged accomplice on Wednesday, but will appear in court on Friday. He will not apply for bail.

The first person charged over the kidnapping was a 17-year-old boy that police allege was one of three to attack Brooker, 25, as he walked to his car at Pindara Private Hospital in the Gold Coast suburb of Benowa on Friday.
It’s alleged the men, who were wearing balaclavas and armed with knives and a handgun, bundled him into the boot and drove him to an ATM where they forced him to withdraw cash.
He was then put back into the boot before his attackers crashed the car into the fence of a house at nearby Ashmore and fled, police said.
Mr Brooker was taken to Gold Coast University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries after neighbours rescued him from the boot. He was discharged later in the day.

Police said the gang went on to steal a second car that rolled on Ashmore Rd about 4.45am on Saturday.
The teen appeared in the Southport Magistrates Court on Monday charged with two counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle, two counts of armed robbery, and one count each of torture and deprivation of liberty.
Investigations are continuing into the incident.
