Fresno police are searching for a suspect who they say robbed a sleeping truck driver at gun and knife point around midnight last night.

Masked Man Enters Truck While Driver Sleeps

Investigators say that a truck driver was parked at Shaw Avenue and Marty Avenue when a man wearing a dark hoodie and a mask entered his truck. The suspect threatened the truck driver with a knife and a gun before punching him several times. The suspect then took a GPS unit and some cash and fled the truck.

Driver Sustains Only Minor Injuries

Police say that other than minor injuries from the beating, the truck driver is okay, though he is shaken up.
