A 30 year-old man has been charged with attempted robbery while armed after an incident in the Hunter on Wednesday night.
It's alleged the man went into a service station at Greta where he then threatened the staff with a knife and demanded cash.
The man then fled empty-handed after an altercation with a male staff member.
Following inquiries, yesterday afternoon, the man attended Maitland Police Station and was arrested.
He has been granted conditional bail to appear at Singleton Local Court on Thursday the 17th of August.
