Police say a driver was blocked  by another car and robbed Tuesday night.

A 19-year-old man was driving north on North 44th Street between Baldwin and St. Paul avenues around 9:25 p.m. when a southbound tan Chevy Caprice entered the northbound lane, stopped and blocked the other vehicle, said Officer Katie Flood.

Two men exited the Caprice, and the driver pointed a black semiautomatic handgun at the victim and said, “give me what you’ve got,” Flood said.

The suspects got away with $700 cash, she said. There was a third person in the backseat of the Caprice who did not get out.

" Unbelievable the crime in this small town. Never saw all this stuff in
the big city I live in for years. Obviously they know theres not enough
police in this town and and get away with anything. "
