A cashier has been injured by a knife-wielding assailant who tried to rob a service station in Glasgow.
The incident took place around 7.40am on Monday, 3 January, on Cumbernauld Road when a man entered the service station and threatened the 25-year-old male assistant with a knife.
The assistant sustained minor injuries and the suspect made off empty handed in the direction of Hogganfield loch.
Police Scotland is appealing for information. The suspect is described as white with a greying stubble. He was wearing a grey coloured beanie hat, a dark green coloured jacket, black coloured trousers and white coloured trainers. He was carrying a grey coloured gym bag with fluorescent edges.
Detective sergeant Chris Lafferty said: “Although nothing was taken this was a frightening experience for a man who had simply just been at his work that morning.
“We would ask anyone who may have witnessed the incident or noticed anyone in the area acting suspiciously to get in contact with police.
“I would also ask anyone who has possible dashcam or personal CCTV footage of the area to get in contact with officers.”
