An armed robbery of a Brantford grocery store ended with a cashier being taken to hospital.
Brantford Police say a man walked into Calbeck Food Market on Murray Street around 5:30 p.m. Sunday and attempted to purchase a chocolate bar.
The man then allegedly asked the cashier if he had ever been robbed, pulled out a kitchen knife and demanded money.
According to police, the man then grabbed a metal stick, hit the cashier repeatedly on the head, grabbed cash from the cash register and left the store.
The clerk was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
