ERIE, Pa. (AP) - Erie police say a gunman forced his way into a car and demanded the driver give him a ride across town — but nothing else.

Police say the incident began about 9 p.m. Tuesday just after the motorist paid for gasoline at a station.

That's when the unknown suspect got into the car, pulled out a silver handgun, and told the car's owner to drive.

Police say the victim drove the suspect to another location where the suspect got out, hopped into a sport-utility vehicle, and drove away.

Police say the victim wasn't robbed or otherwise harmed during the incident.
