An Australian golfer has reportedly been kidnapped, robbed and beaten.
Australian golfer Robert Allenby has reportedly been kidnapped and bashed in Hawaii where he had been taking part in a tournament.
The 43-year-old was at a wine bar in Honolulu, after missing the cut in a PGA tournament.
The Golf Channel is reporting that Allenby was robbed, beaten and later found dumped 10 kilometres away from the bar.
“I didn’t think I was going to survive this one,” Allenby told AAP news agency.
“I was separated from my friend in the bar after we had paid the tab at 10:48pm and he went to the bathroom and next thing you know I’m being dumped in a park miles away.
“I only know this part because a homeless woman found me and told me she saw a few guys pull up and throw me out of the car.
“That is where I got the scrapes above my eye from the sidewalk.”
Shaken and in a bad way Allenby realised he was without his phone, wallet or any cash and was starting to be harassed by other homeless people in the park.
“The homeless woman got me away from the others and then a retired military guy walking past came to my aid,” he said.
“He got me into a taxi and paid for me to get to my hotel and I called police from there. I have his details and will be getting back in touch with him for sure.”
