Wanzhen Lu, 22, was allegedly kidnapped by armed men Saturday near Toronto. He's pictured on the day of his disappearance
Canadian police are searching for a Chinese student who was kidnapped by an armed gang in the parking lot of his secure access condo building.
The ambush of Wanzhen Lu took place around 6pm Saturday and the law enforcement said the 22-year-old was tasered by a masked man several times after exiting his black Land Rover Range Rover at 15 Water Walk Dr, Markham with a woman who escaped unharmed.
Security footage obtained by investigators showed the man appeared to be taken against his will as he showed resistance against three men who used excessive violence before stuffing him into a black 2008 to 2010 Dodge Caravan with a 'CEAR350' plate stolen from the Peel Region earlier this month and no front plate.
The female Lu was accompanied by was said to be 'traumatized' by the attack.
She was not physically harmed during the 'very violent attack' and notified security in the building, accessed using a fob key, about the incident immediately.
'The attack was very brazen, violent and hands on. They took him, threw him into the vehicle and then left,' Constable Andy Pattenden from York Regional Police told reporters Monday. 'It was a violent altercation and we need to find him right now.'
Law enforcement officers said Lu had driven expensive vehicles including a Rolls Royce and a Lamborghini and surveillance footage from the underground parking garage led them to believe Lu was '100 percent taken against his will'.

While there was speculation he may have been taken in exchange for ransom money, after in 2017 three Chinese students were involved in extortion scams, they said the kidnappers had not yet made contact.
The building Lu lives in near Highway 7 and Birchmount Road sells one-bedroom apartments for $479,900.
They also wanted to know more about the motive after the woman with Lu, who also goes by the name Peter, was left physically unscathed.

Police would not say how Lu knew the woman or what school he is enrolled at.
'She’s obviously traumatized by what took place, but has been very helpful with us,' Pattenden said.

'This entire case is odd. Abductions like this, especially with this level of violence used are very rare in this country.
'Why him? Why not the friend he was with? If there's anyone who knows Mr. Lu that has not come forward yet with any information on why he may be a target, we'd definitively love to speak to you.'
After cops appealed to the public on the same evening, the wheelchair accessible vehicle used to kidnap the foreign student was located in Toronto, approximately 30km away from the city in Ontario, on Monday.
However they still haven't located the alleged victim.
Now Lu's family is on the way to Toronto from his native China. The local police department was also working with the Chinese Consulate in Toronto. The Associated Press said the embassy 'have been in close contact and communication with the police, urging them to rescue the kidnapped student as soon as possible'.
Lu was pictured in the outfit he was wearing the day he was abducted. He wore glasses, a black Gucci hoodie which retails for $2,000, black jeans and white running shoes.
The first suspect was wearing a mask, blue pants and a black jacket. A second was described as having 'dark skin, 6'1', wearing black Canada Goose jacket'. Police said suspect number 3 was depicted as '6'2', dark skin, heavier build, wearing dark blue jeans with a black jacket.
A fourth suspect, the driver, did not get out of the vehicle. They were said to be male and wearing a green/yellow jacket with a hood.
Police told the kidnappers to turn themselves in before they are caught.
'Now is the time to seek legal counsel and turn yourself in,' Pattenden said.
The investigation is ongoing. Call 866-876-5423 x7865 with any tips on Lu's whereabouts.
Lu was stuffed into a black 2008 to 2010 Dodge Caravan with stolen plate 'CEAR350' and no front plate
Police eventually found the vehicle in Toronto on Monday with the help of a public appeal

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
