Police are appealing for information following an attempted armed robbery in Maroubra last night.

Just after 10pm (Thursday 10 July 2014), two men armed with machetes entered a pizza shop on Anzac Parade armed and demanded cash from two male employees, aged 23 and 25.

One of the armed men assaulted the younger employee, before the armed pair ran from the scene empty handed south along Anzac Parade.

Officers attached to Eastern Beaches Local Area Command attended and established a crime scene.

The 23-year-old man suffered minor injuries and did not require treatment. No one else was injured during the incident.

As investigations continue, police are urging anyone with information to contact Maroubra Police or Crime Stoppers.
