There was an armed robbery in the north end and attempted armed holdup last night and police have made an arrest with a little help. The holdup occurred at Daly's convenience store on Taylor Avenue.
A 20 year old man, wearing a hoodie and armed with a weapon, assaulted the 23 year old clerk hitting her in the head a number of times. She was bleeding and needed medical attention.
The suspect was tackled outside the store by a passerby and was held down until police arrived. He suffered a head wound in the struggle to get away and now is in the lockup awaiting a court appearance on several charges including an attempted armed robbery that occurred at Sandy's Convenience Store on Sandy Point Road.
Police are also investigating to see if charges will be laid after a woman was struck by a car during the afternoon rush hour at Adelaide and Metcalf Streets. She was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries.
