A ROBBER threatened a postmaster with a knife and demanded money.

But he refused to hand over the cash over and the man fled empty-handed.

The masked man entered Sedgley Post Office in Bury New Road, Sedgley Park, Bury, on Thursday November 4 at around 4.30pm.

He rushed to the counter and pulled out a 7in blade.

The robber demanded cash and threatened customers waiting in the premises but he ran off when challenged.
