An investigation is under way after a city centre robbery which left a shop worker injured.
Shortly before 2.45pm on Tuesday, August 28, police were contacted by the ambulance service, who were in attendance at Nisa Local on Sandyford Road, Newcastle.
It was reported that three males had entered the store and helped themselves to a quantity of alcohol before attempting to leave without paying.

When challenged by a staff member outside the shop, the males have then pushed him to the ground and repeatedly kicked him - causing him injuries to his head and jaw.
The males have then shouted abuse at on-duty paramedic who witnessed the incident and tried to disperse the group by turning on the lights and sirens of his vehicle. They have then left the scene.
The 27-year-old shop worker received treatment for minor injuries.
A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said: "As part of their ongoing enquiries, officers have today released the images of a group of males who were in the area at the time of the offence and could have information that can assist with the investigation.
