Police are appealing for information about a man who attempted to rob a dairy with a piece of timber about 7.20am this morning.
Detective Iain Chapman said a man entered Crazy Convenience on Cameron Rd near 11th Ave armed with a large piece of timber and began demanding money and cigarettes from the two men in the shop.
"He's then attacked one of them, hitting him with the piece of timber."
The man has been taken to hospital for monitoring.
The robber then left the store with nothing and is thought to have run off in a northerly direction through alleyways between 10th and 11th Avenues.
