A male filming the kidnapping narrates the 47-second video where he yells at the victim and films one person waving and another girl sitting casually on a couch watching television.
“Don’t smile this ain’t supposed to be f---in fun,” the man said as the young woman is dragged through a hallway into another room.
“This ugly f---in bitch here wants to call people f---in dogs all right see people …. now she’s the c — tied up in the room … yeah, yeah it’s how it works,” he said.
The video, which was uploaded to Facebook, emerged following the arrests of a woman, 19, a man, 22, a girl, 17 yesterday and a boy, 16, this morning.
All four remain in custody charged with a number of offences including attempted murder and aggravated kidnapping.
The Daily Telegraph understands the woman told police she was kidnapped at Campbelltown by a group of people she knew and taken to a house at Whalan where she was repeatedly hit with a bat and tortured for more than eight hours.
She has since told police that she drifted in and out of consciousness throughout Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday.
After the alleged torture she was thrown in the back of a Holden Commodore before her alleged kidnappers drove to Windsor about 5am.
Police allege it was here the 19-year-old woman was thrown into the Hawkesbury River from the Windsor Bridge.
The victim — who only has one arm — told police she managed to wriggle free and swum to the banks of the river and police were later called to where she was found.
She was taken to Nepean Hospital for treatment.
