Detectives investigating a report of a robbery and an attempted hijacking in Belfast City Centre on Saturday, March 9 are appealing for information and witnesses.
Detective Sergeant McCartan said: "Around 9.45pm, a delivery driver was parked in the Donegall Place area, when an unknown man has approached his vehicle and opened the door, armed with a blade and a sharpened piece of metal.
"The victim reported that the suspect held the weapon to his face and told him to get out of the car. The suspect sat down in the driver's seat and lifted a sum of money from the dashboard, before a struggle ensued.
