FedEx Truck Carjacked from Manhattan Street

An 18-wheeler FedEX tractor trailer was hijacked by gun-toting thieves in Manhattan Friday morning.

Police say the truck was stopped at a traffic light at 47th Street and
Eleventh Avenue when two men pulled guns on the driver and forced him
out of the truck. The driver was put in another car and driven around
for awhile. He was found around 1:30 Friday morning in Brooklyn.



The driver -- who has 25-years with FedEx -- wasn't hurt.

FedEx spokesman Steve Barber says the truck was headed to hub in Newark, New Jersey.

Although Police and Barber said they didn't know the truck's contents
value, news reports say the truck was carrying more than one million
dollars in cargo including Christmas presents.
