Police are appealing for witnesses, following an armed hold up at a Taree newsagency this morning.
Just after 10 o’clock, a man confronted a female shop assistant at the Muldoon Street premises – she the only person in the store at the time.
“A male person, dressed in all black clothing, face covered, hoodie, long pants, has entered a store with what’s being described at this stage as a long cutting weapon,” said Insp. Fidock.
Police say there was a physical altercation between the man and the shop assistant.
The woman was taken to Manning Base Hospital to be treated for cuts and abrasions.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers or Taree Police.
