Last night in Melbourne's east, an employee at a bottle shop was the victim of a violent attempted robbery. The incident left the worker with serious injuries and has caused concern in the local community. According to reports, two individuals, armed with a hammer and a tyre iron, entered the store located near the intersection of Blackburn Road and High Street in Glen Waverley around 8:50pm.
The offenders reportedly threatened the 48-year-old worker, who hails from Mount Waverly, and demanded that he hand over cash. However, the brave employee refused to comply with their demands, which resulted in him being seriously assaulted. It is believed that the suspects left the scene empty-handed, fleeing in a vehicle.
