It will be alleged just after 3:00pm a man entered a convenience store on Ann Street, armed with a glass bottle.

The man allegedly demanded money from a male staff member before punching him. The staff member complied with the man’s demands, handing over a sum a cash before the man fled the store.

The staff member sustained a minor eye injury which did not require medical treatment.

A 28-year-old Cleveland man was taken into custody in the Brunswick Street Mall at around 8:20pm.

He has been charged with two counts of armed robbery and one count of robbery.
