It is understood four male and two female offenders forced entry into a room at the motel and assaulted the man with metal poles and bats.

He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Five offenders fled the scene in a grey Audi before police arrived.

An 18-year-old Ringwood woman was arrested at the scene and interviewed by detectives.

She has been charged and was released pending further enquiries.

All four have been charged with aggravated home invasion and remanded into custody.
