Woman dragged by hair in west Melbourne abduction

Terrifying images have emerged of a woman being abducted from a petrol station in west Melbourne.

A man can be seen grabbing the woman by the hair before dragging her along the ground and forcing her into a Holden.

He then sped away from the Derrimut Coles Express about 11.30pm on Thursday.  

Detectives later cordoned off the petrol station, on Fitzgerald Road, combing it for clues.

The woman, 23, was found at midday on Friday, before being taken for medical treatment.

A 24-year-old Gordon man has been charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment, possessing a firearm, drug possession and cannabis cultivation.

The man and woman are known to each other.
