Man jailed for machete hold-up at petrol station

as posted here

A 20-year old man who threatened to kill a Huntingdale BP petrol station customer with a machete if the attendant did not hand over cash was jailed for two years in the District Court yesterday.

The court was told Alexander Phillip Walsh grabbed a customer at the petrol station on April 17 last year, holding a machete to his neck. He threatened to kill the customer if the attendant did not hand over money.

The attendant refused to comply and fled into a back room, locking himself in. The hostage managed to free himself as Walsh attempted to force his way behind the counter, but eventually gave up and left.
