A 40-year-old man was allegedly abducted in Dagenham, bundled into a car, and left hanging out of the back door after he kicked it open.

Police received a report that an African man was abducted by four black men in Exeter Road, Dagenham at 5.10pm on November 24.

They allegedly bundled him in to the back seat of a silver car and after he was driven around in the vehicle for some time the victim managed to kick one of the back car doors open by McDonalds in Ballards Road.
