ABINGTON TWP., Pa. (WPVI) -- Police in Abington Township have arrested two men for robbing and assaulting a pizza deliveryman after calling in a phony order.

Police say at 11:06 p.m. Monday, an employee of Domino's Pizza was delivering an order to an apartment which had been phoned in.

He went to that apartment, but the residents said they had not placed an order.

As the deliveryman returned to his vehicle, police say he was approached by two men.

One of the men pushed the victim and the other placed what he believed was a gun in his back and said; "Run your pockets you (expletive)!"

The victim suffered bruises and lacerations, but did not require hospital treatment.

At approximately 12:45 a.m. Tuesday, an Abington officer on patrol stopped two males fitting the description of the suspects.

Through investigation, they were connected to the crime and admitted committing the robbery.
