PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Pittsburgh police are investigating an overnight carjacking in Chartiers.

Officers were dispatched to the 1200 block of Chartiers Avenue just before 3 a.m. for a reported carjacking.

When officers got on the scene, the victim told them he was working as a rideshare driver who was called to pick up passengers at an address in that block, investigators said.

When he arrived to pick up his passengers, police said he got out of the vehicle and four armed men wearing masks approached him. The suspects then held a gun to his head and robbed him. The victim was otherwise unharmed.

The suspects then got in his white, four-door, 2019 Ford Fusion and fled the area.

Police said they recovered the vehicle on Tuesday morning. 

The investigation is ongoing.
