Armed Robbery, East Brisbane
Police are continuing to investigate the armed robbery of an East Brisbane hotel last night.
Around 11.30pm, two armed men entered the bar area from Didsbury Street armed with a firearm and a machete.
One of them threatened two employees behind the bar, demanding the woman fill up a bag with money from the till.
In the meantime, the second offender, armed with a machete, ushered three patrons inside from the designated smoking area and instructed them to lay on the floor.
A fourth patron then emerged from the gaming area and struck the second offender over the head with a stool, causing him to fall.
The first offender then dropped the bag of cash and then two men fled the scene with a small sum of cash.
No staff or patrons were physically injured during the incident.
