The robbers, a 15-year old and 17-year-old Anthony Evans-Warner, are responsible for the attack, police say.

Police say Evans-Warner told the victim to get out of his car but then realized he didn't know how to operate a stick shift.

"The suspects were unfamiliar with the operation of a standard transmission and they tried to get the victim to show them how to drive the standard while he was being held at gunpoint," Inspector Stefan Happ said.

Police say the victim tried to explain how to operate his car while a gun was pointed to his head, and eventually the suspects told him to get out of the car a few blocks away.

The victim called police who responded quickly.

"A vehicle pursuit was initiated," Happ said. "The officers were chasing the vehicle and apparently they had issues operating the vehicle. They then jumped out of the vehicle and ran on foot."

Both of the suspects were arrested a short time later and the car was returned to the victim.

Here is something non-political to amuse you.
