A rideshare driver has been injured and two teens, aged just 14 and 18, have been arrested after allegedly threatening a driver with a knife before making off with cash.
Police were called to Mofflin Rd, Elizabeth Grove about 2.15am on Wednesday after reports that a rideshare driver had been confronted by two males.
It is alleged the suspects entered the Toyota hatchback and threatened the driver with a knife before trying to steal his car.
