A KNIFEMAN who threatened customers at the Sedgley Park post office in Prestwich fled empty-handed.
The thug took to his heels after the postmaster at the Bury New Road office refused his demands to hand over cash.
In September, the same post office was targeted in an armed raid when two robbers got away with money.
In the latest incident, which happened on Thursday last week at around 4.20pm, the offender entered the premises and pulled out a knife .
Police say he demanded cash and told customers they'd "get it" if the money wasn't handed over.
But the postmaster refused to give him cash and the armed robber left empty handed.
The raider was described as a white male, 5ft 10in, slim with a distinctive large nose and wearing a three-quarter length white rain jacket and white ski hat.
