Police have released startling CCTV of Mitchell Jacka, a man they describe as a threat to the community, allegedly making demands for cash from the till at a Mitchell bottle shop while brandishing a knife at about 5.05pm on Friday, February 16.
A staff member was injured as she fell from the counter fleeing from the shop to get help.
A nearby shopkeeper and others raced to the bottle shop and confronted the alleged thief who dropped the items in his possession and ran off.
Police say he is a threat to the community and should not be approached.
