Detectives in Huddersfield are appealing for information following an attempted armed robbery.
The incident took place at 7.45pm on Thursday 22 November, when two masked males entered the Metro Express store, Thornhill Road and demanded cash from the register.
The suspects were armed with a baseball bat and what were believed to be two handguns, and assaulted the lone member of staff at the premises.
The first suspect is described as a young male of a stocky build, with a local accent, around 5ft 9in and wearing all black clothing and a balaclava.
The second suspect is described as 5ft 10in, white, with a slim build and dark coloured eyes and was also wearing all black clothing and a balaclava.
The victim, a 31-year-old man, was taken to hospital with what is believed to be a serious arm injury.
The suspects left empty handed and made off in the direction of Longwood Road.
Detective Inspector, Andrew Lockwood, said: “All incidents involving firearms or suspected firearms are taken extremely seriously. We are doing all we can to trace those involved.
“This incident will understandably cause concern in the local community but I would like to reassure residents that extra patrols are in place.
“Our enquiries in to this incident are ongoing and I would appeal to anyone who may have been in the area around the time of the incident who may have seen or heard anything to come forward with any information.”
