He was driven around the city for a short time before an assault occurred between two other occupants.
Police are urging this backpacker to contact them as they believe he can assist with their enquiries.
A 30-year-old Fairfield man has since been arrested on assault-related charges and remanded in custody to appear at court at a later date.
