Police CCTV located the alleged offenders a short time later at a nearby location, where they were arrested and charged with aggravated robbery and deprive a person of personal liberty.

In a statement from NT Police, Detective Senior Sergeant Trent Abbott commended the "swift action" of CCTV operators and officers.

"This was a disgraceful attack on a vulnerable member of our society, and the actions of these offenders were abhorrent," he said.

"Thankfully, the victim is expected to make a full recovery."
