A man has been arrested following an armed robbery in Waterford last night.
He went into the Number 21 off license with a hatchet and demanded money from a staff member.
The staff member then wrestled the hatchet from the lone raider who fled the scene on foot towards Paddy Browns Road.
CCTV later identified the suspect and during a follow up search Gardaí arrested the 29-year-old.
