Two men held up a driver in an intersection in the Mission last night, police have reported.

The incident occurred at 11:30pm at the corner of 23rd and Harrison streets when two male suspects between 20 and 25 years old approached a 21-year-old man who had stopped at the intersection. 

One suspect put a knife to the victim’s throat while his companion reached into the vehicle and stole his wallet.

After the theft, both suspects fled northbound westbound on 23rd Street in a vehicle that was not described.
