Officers said they received a report at around 8am on Wednesday that the two alleged victims had been dragged into a vehicle on Victoria Road in Pok Fu Lam.
Hours later, police received a call that a helper was screaming for help in Pat Heung, Yuen Long.
Officers located the pair and they were taken to hospital for check-ups. They had minor wrist injuries and were discharged later in the day.
A villager told reporters that the hands of the 39-year-old helper and the 19-month-old baby girl were tied up.
It’s understood that they live at Residence Bel-Air in Cyberport, and the toddler’s father is a Japanese man who runs a restaurant in Hong Kong.
Police said they arrested a suspect in Kwu Tung, Sheung Shui in the early hours on Thursday and located the vehicle believed to have been used in the case.
Officers said more arrests could follow.
