Petrol station worker stabbed for confronting non-paying driver
A worker was stabbed in the arm by a customer at a petrol station who was trying to drive off without paying.

When challenged, the driver pulled an object from his back pocket, which he used to stab the member of staff in the arm and scrape his head before he drove off without paying.
The victim suffered a small puncture wound to his arm and a scratch to the back of his head, and was treated in hospital.
Police are investigating the incident which took place at around 4.45pm on Saturday.
