Seven Massachusetts men have been indicted after federal officials say they kidnapped and tortured a Quincy man in February, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of Massachusetts.

Five men were arrested Tuesday in connection with the incident.

Brian Cardoso, 33, of Dorchester; Marcus Castaldi, 29, of Revere; Melvin Coleman, 34, of Roxbury; Anthony Lima, 37, of Quincy; and Samuel Alouidor, 27, of Dorchester, have all been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and one count of obstruction of justice by tampering with a witness, victim, or informant by physical force or threat.

The remaining two men are still at large as of Tuesday afternoon.

Officials say the kidnapping occurred on Feb. 27 when kidnappers wore masks and assaulted the Quincy man outside of his home
