‘I felt guilty as I had been at home at the time and thought I heard somebody moaning and groaning – but I just thought it was an argument.
‘It was only when I watched the footage back I realised what had happened and immediately phoned police.
‘Had I not been at home and watched it back nobody would have known it happened – it’s very scary.’
West Yorkshire Police said: ‘Police are investigating a report of kidnap after a man suffered injuries on Westcroft Road, Bradford at around 11.10am on Wednesday 6 March.
