A gas station worker is in hospital after a robbery tonight at the Esso Tiger Market in Hamilton Parish.

A man wearing dark clothing and riding a dark-coloured motorcycle pulled up at the site, on the corner of Radnor Road and North Shore Road, at approximately 8pm.

He demanded money from the female cashier inside a service kiosk, who gave him an undisclosed sum of cash then retreated from the booth.

Bermuda Police Service spokesman Dwayne Caines said: “The suspect, as he was leaving, ran over the woman, resulting in the attendant being taken to the hospital, where she is being treated for injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening. The suspect left the area travelling east on North Shore Road.”

Mr Caines added that an investigation is under way and that the area is now cordoned off.

Police are appealing for witnesses, or anyone who may have seen anyone in the area acting suspiciously, to call 295-0011 or the confidential Crime Stoppers hotline on 800-8477.
