Two Essex County men are among three people charged with kidnapping a man outside a Midtown Manhattan club, beating him during a drive through the Lincoln Tunnel and abandoning him in West Orange, federal prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
Kenny Fetiere, 26, of West Orange, and Kibret Meles, 28, of Livingston, were arrested Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Dani Amanuel, 28, of Manhattan, remained at large when prosecutors announced the charges.<\/p>\n
The three men and others allegedly offered the victim a ride from outside the club to his hotel on June 12.<\/p>\n
Once he got into their car, they restrained him, struck him with their hands and a sharp object, and demanded his Rolex watch, iPhone and phone password, according to the indictment.<\/p>\n
The New York Post<\/a> reported the man was an attorney visiting Manhattan for work and that he was at Rick’s Cabaret on West 33rd Street<\/a> when he was abducted.<\/p>\n The suspects allegedly drove the victim through the Lincoln Tunnel into New Jersey and left him in West Orange.<\/p>\n The indictment does not identify the victim or say where in West Orange he was abandoned.<\/p>\n The victim suffered multiple fractures to the bones around his face, a cut to his finger that required stitches and bruising. He spent three days in a hospital.<\/p>\n Each man is charged with kidnapping and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.<\/p>\n Attorney information was not immediately available.<\/p>\n Read the original article on NJ.com<\/a>.
