A trio in Florida has been arrested for beating up and robbing a man and then forcing him to dance in a dress, say local police.

The man, who has not been named, was reportedly pistol-whipped and robbed, cut with a blade and made to wear a dress and dance by the criminals, according to the police in Florida.

Reportedly, one of the alleged perpetrators recorded a video of the torture.

He had reportedly been walking on North 3rd Street in Immokalee, Florida, when he was kidnapped by the three suspects, who had pulled up in an SUV.

He was then taken to the home of one of the suspects, where he allegedly was made to strip and put on a dress. The trio also made him dance, it is alleged, and threatened his life. One of the suspects allegedly cut his face with a knife.

The victim told police that he feared he would be murdered and his body dumped.

The suspects then allegedly took him to nearby Glades county and proceeded to beat him up more but he managed to flee and hide in a church before calling the police. He reportedly identified two of the suspects in a lineup.
