Police yesterday appealed for witnesses after a man was robbed at knifepoint in his car.

The robbery happened at 9.30pm on Monday as the 40-year-old victim was sitting in his vehicle in Dudley Hill Road, Eccleshill, Bradford.

A suspect opened the car door and pointed a knife at the victim, who shouted at him.

The robber fled, with a second suspect.

A bag was stolen during the incident and recovered close by having been dropped by the robber. The victim was uninjured.

The first man officers want to speak to in connection with the incident is described as 5ft 10ins tall, thin, and wearing a black hooded jacket with a blue top underneath. The jacket had a white draw-string around the top.

His accomplice is described as 5ft 2ins-5ft 4ins tall and stocky. He was wearing a hooded top.

Detective Inspector Neil Benstead, of Airedale and North Bradford CID, said: “The victim is clearly shaken as a result but not physically injured.

“I would appeal to anyone in the area at the time who thinks they may have seen the suspects, or the incident, to come forward.”
