A driver was robbed by two men who jumped into his car when he had to stop in traffic.

The victim, in his late 20s, was attacked in Pankhurst Avenue, Brighton, at 7.40pm last night.

The two thieves produced a lock knife with a 5in blade and forced the driver to hand over his wallet containing £30, credit cards and a driving licence.

They fled and the driver raised the alarm.

Both robbers were in their early 20s. One was skinny, between 5ft 8in and 6ft tall, and wore a beige baseball cap.

The second was 5ft 8in tall and stocky with black short hair. He wore a blue jumper and jeans.
