Police are investigating the attempted armed robbery of a service station at Marsden overnight.

Around 10.55pm, a man has entered the Bumstead Road premises and approached the counter.

The man then produced a knife and made demands for money.

When the store attendant called for another person who was in the store, the offender fled the store empty-handed.

The offender was last seen running in a northerly direction towards a nearby shopping centre.

Investigations are continuing.
