Eskasoni man facing armed robbery charges

Armed robbery charges for an Eskasoni man.

It happened Friday afternoon at a gas station on Castle Bay Road.

After he entered the business with a knife and stole cash, RCMP caught up to him nearly an hour later.

He tripped while trying to flee, and a struggle ensued, where an officer delivered a strike to the man, resulting in minor injuries.

The man was treated, released and booked.

He’ll appear in Sydney Provincial Court this morning.
