THE ex-partner of a Gypsy Joker bikie who allegedly kidnapped her has spoken out, claiming she was stripped naked and had her hair shaven during the two-day ordeal.
It began when Chad Daniel Hogg, 29, allegedly forced Cheyane Lubec, 22, into his Ford Mustang in Cambridge Park on Sunday night.
Police will allege Hogg then drove Ms Lubec to a Gypsy Jokers clubhouse at Horsley Park “where she was allegedly bound to a pole and assaulted over the course of the next two days”.
Ms Lubec alleges Hogg bundled her back into the Mustang on Tuesday before they drove to a fast food restaurant in South Penrith.
It was there, when Hogg left the car, that Ms Lubec grabbed her phone and ran into nearby bushes.
“I just wanted to be closer to home … I was going to try and run,” she told Nine News.
“So that’s why I chose that spot. He went and ordered and I’ve unlocked the car and I’ve grabbed my phone that was in the glove box in a plastic bag and I’ve picked up my handbag and I’ve ran across the road and hid in some bushes.
“He then drove up and down the street a couple of times looking for me and I was just on the phone to police waiting for them to get there.”
Speaking on Wednesday, Ms Lubec appeared battered and bruised with half her hair shaved off.
Eventually police arrived on scene as Hogg fled back to the Gypsy Jokers clubhouse.
Hogg was later arrested at the clubhouse after a tense standoff with more than 50 police.
“I can’t explain the feeling that I got from (the police) getting there,” Ms Lubec said.
“I am very grateful to be alive.”
Ms Lubec claimed Hogg had laughed at her throughout the sadistic ordeal as he allegedly stripped her naked before bounding her to a wooden pole with tape.
She could not scream for help as Hogg allegedly covered her mouth with duct tape.
Ms Lubec said the worst part of the attack was having her hair forcibly shaved off.
“He shaved off my hair and took pictures and he was laughing while he was doing it,” she said.
“I would have preferred him to take a finger than to shave off my hair.”
