Detectives are investigating after a man attempted to rob a supermarket in East Ipswich yesterday.

At 7.45pm, a man entered the business on Jacaranda Street and produced a knife.

He made demands for cash and the male attendant then struck him with a metal bar.

The man fled the scene empty handed and was last seen entering a car and driving south on Chermside Road.

Investigations are continuing.
