Spearwood man and a 28 year old Hamilton Hill man over an aggravated armed robbery at

 

Simon’s Lunch Bar in Willagee on Monday 1 August 2011.

cleaver.

 

He jumped onto the counter and struck the 68 year old male store owner with the weapon,

 

striking him in the eye.

 

The blow knocked the man unconscious and he fell to the ground, breaking his wrist.

 

It will be further alleged the man stole the cash register and fled the store in a vehicle driven

 

by the second man.
