Toronto police arrested and charged two youths after an armed car-jacking involving a food delivery driver in Etobicoke on Thursday night.

Officers were first called to Stavely Crescent and Benway Drive, near Kipling Avenue and Rexdale Boulevard, at around 10 p.m.

Police said the two suspects, one with a knife, stole a silver Hyundai Sonata and fled eastbound. The victim had also fled the scene, police added.

Investigators allege the suspects also filled the car at a gas station and drove off without paying later that night.

At 3 a.m. on Friday, police said they found the vehicle near Martingrove Road and Rexdale Boulevard.
