A LORRY driver was hit in the chest with a gun after two men hijacked his lorry in Locksbottom.
The 32-year-old man stopped his vehicle at red traffic lights at the junction of Crofton Road and Farnborough Common. Two men jumped in, one of them slamming the driver with the butt of a handgun.
He was forced to drive through Sidcup and ordered to jump out of the lorry at Haven Close.
Sergeant Amanda Weston, spokesman for Bromley police, said: "The lorry was carrying a mixed load including nappies, power tools and a pallet of beetroot. But nothing was taken." It was later recovered at the junction of Sidcup Hill with Durham Road.
The suspects were black and aged about 30. One is stocky, the other is slim. Call Detective Sergeant Bob Panton on 020 8284 8811.
