Abington Township police said in a Facebook post that officers responded to a report of armed robbery at a Lukoil gas station on Old York Road on Sunday.

The gas station is not far from Willow Grove Mall.

The man on rollerblades demanded money from the register, armed with a gun and a knife in the front of his waistband, and threatened to shoot the employee if he didn't comply, police said in the social post.
