Police are investigating the robbery of a tobacconist in Caboolture last week.
Around 6.45am police were called to an Argyll Street business on Friday January 13 where a man wearing a mask threatened a female employee who attempted to flee, before he grabbed her and a violent struggle ensued.
The woman was able to break free and ran to safety, however she sustained lacerations to her arm and face, requiring treatment in hospital.
The man stole a sum of money from the till and a quantity of cigarettes and fled on foot west along Argyll Street.
