A PIZZA delivery man was threatened at knifepoint by three muggers and forced to hand over cash at the weekend.
The mugging took place at Gleneagles Road, Sunderland, at about 3am on Saturday.
The thugs asked for a light for a cigarette as the worker was about to get back into his car after making his last call of the night.
As he offered his lighter, one of the trio pulled a knife and demanded cash. The victim handed over the small amount of money he had in his pocket. He was shocked but unhurt.
