A delivery driver in a truck was hijacked by two masked gunmen yesterday afternoon on northbound U.S. 1 between Patuxent Range Road and Route 175 in Howard County.

Howard County police said the victim was forced to drive to an unknown, secluded location. There, a pillowcase was placed over his head and he was held at gunpoint while the gunmen removed money and food products from the truck.

The victim was released unharmed somewhere near Route 100 in Anne Arundel County a short time later, where he phoned police.

The victim's name, age and other details were not available from police late yesterday.
