Police are hunting two suspects after two men were targeted in a hijacking incident in Belfast.
Just after 9.45pm on Thursday, April 2, officers received a report that two men had been sitting in a black Vauxhall Grandland in the carpark at Cavehill Country Park, in the north of the city, when the door was forced open and two men manhandled them from the vehicle.
It is believed that one of the men may have been armed with a metal object. The two suspects are described as aged in their 30s, wearing snoods and with local accents.
