    Police in eastern Pennsylvania say they’re searching for a man who carjacked a Mister Softee ice cream truck while armed with a knife.

    WFMZ-TV reports the truck’s driver was held up in Reading on Friday afternoon. Investigators say the suspect jumped into the truck, made the driver take him to another area and then grabbed $200 in cash.

    Police say the man jumped out of the truck and fled.

    The driver wasn’t hurt.
