A 26-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were walking towards a car park at Fairfield in Sydney's southwest in January when they were grabbed by two men wearing balaclavas.
Police allege they were forced into a vehicle, held hostage, tortured and the man's finger was chopped off.
The hostages escaped from a location in Swan Bay after a two-day ordeal before calling a family member who contacted police.
Police arrested a 25-year-old man who was being held in the Silverwater Correctional Centre on separate matters on Monday.
He was charged on two counts of being an accessory to the kidnapping with the intent to ransom, participating in a criminal group contributing to criminal activity and concealing a serious indictable offence.
He will appear in Fairfield Local Court on Tuesday.
Police charged two men over the kidnapping in April and they remain before the courts.
