Waterloo regional police say one person was hurt during an attempted robbery at a Cambridge pharmacy.
Officers were called to the business on Jamison Parkway, near Townline Road, around 4 p.m.
Police said the three males entered the pharmacy and at least one them had a knife.
An employee was assault but their injuries are considered minor.
Police said no merchandise or property was taken and the three suspects fled in a white sedan, possibly a Chevrolet Cruze.
This is the second armed robbery, reported within a 24 hour-period, at a Waterloo Region pharmacy. On Monday, police responded to a business on King Street West and Wellington Street North in Kitchener where three suspects allegedly stole narcotics and cash. No one was hurt in that incident and no arrests have been made.
Police said part of their investigation will include determining if the two robberies are connected.
