The suspects were armed with an air soft gun, and demanded money and pizza from the victim

Two men armed with an air soft gun tried to rob a pizza delivery driver in Emerald Hills overnight, but the driver chased them away with a stick, thwarting their plan.

The San Diego Police Department said the near-robbery happened in at Bollenbacher and McHugh streets. A driver stopped to deliver pizza in the neighborhood and two men standing outside told him the pizza was for them.

When the victim got out of his car with the pizza, one of the men pointed a black weapon at him and demanded the pizza and cash.

Police said the victim noticed the weapon was an air soft gun, and he refused to give the men anything. Instead, the pizza delivery driver picked up some sort of stick and chased the suspects to 56th Street, where they then ran in separate directions.

Officials said the incident is under investigation. The suspects are both described as being thin, black males and in their late teens. The first suspect – the one with the air soft gun – has curly hair and was wearing a blue and white sweater with a dark shirt. The second suspect was wearing a blue shirt and jeans.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

Being an old gunny (Not USMC) I can ID just about any firearm after a blink-length look. Always a good time.
