Police officers were called to Oyama Avenue in Manly about 9.30am on Sunday following reports of an assault.
They were informed the alleged offenders had left the area in a Toyota Hilux, according to a police statement.
When officers tried to stop the ute on Warringah Road at Forestville the driver allegedly took off, initiating a pursuit.
Officers stopped the vehicle using road spikes and found five men inside, including one with injuries who was taken to hospital and later released after receiving treatment.
A 24-year-old from Sefton, a 24-year-old from Auburn, a 25-year-old from Colebee and a 19-year-old from Doonside were arrested and taken to Manly Police Station.
They were each charged with a series of offences, including kidnapping in company, causing actual bodily harm, participating in a criminal group, being carried in a vehicle taken without consent, using a disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence, and affray.
The Sefton man was also charged with police pursuit, failing to stop, driving recklessly and using an offensive weapon to prevent lawful detention.
The men were scheduled to appear at Hornsby Local Court on Monday, but the hearing was adjourned to a later date.
Lawyer for the men, Mahmoud Abbas, said an application would be made for them to be released on bail.
"I haven't really made contact with them, but I'm sure they're fine. There will be an application for release," he told media.
"It's far too early to make any determination as to what the evidence is, but once all the relevant material is released we'll make a determination and proceed from there."
