Police were called to reports of the robbery at 3.05pm this afternoon, Tuesday 20th March.
It is unknown if anyone was injured, though a witness said a member of staff was punched during the incident.
Money is believed to have been taken, but the amount has not yet been released.
A member of the public, who was in Moorland Road at the time, told us: “People watched him leave and run off down the road so I thought nothing of his strange behaviour.
“An old guy on the shop even joked that he broke the door on his way out, which is why I sort of convinced myself it was a disgruntled customer not a robber.”
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police confirmed to the Echo that officers were called at 3.05pm, a man was then arrested and that he remains in custody at this time on suspicion of robbery.
