Authorities described the incident in a media release: A suspect entered a vehicle occupied by three females who had just finished refueling at the Speedway gas station, 5640 Hamilton Blvd., 9:28 a.m. The man, described as a 25-35 year old white male, displayed a knife and a handgun and demanded the women drive him into Allentown, according to police.
