A servo worker has been robbed at gunpoint.

Police are hunting a man who held a 7-Eleven worker at gunpoint and robbed the service station in Brisbane’s southwest overnight.

It is understood a masked man entered the Riverhills 7-Eeleven at around 8.30pm, and struck the worker over the head with a handgun and made off with a sum of cash.

A Queensland police spokesman said a man had allegedly threatened a staff member with a handgun and investigations are continuing.

“The man was struck over the head with the hand gun and the man left the store with a sum of cash,” the spokesman said.

Local Cyndel Jackson said she was at the store only moments before the alleged robbery.

“I stopped into 7-Eleven Riverhills to grab a few items. The pump lights were turned off and the worker inside was on the phone and not opening the doors,” Ms Jackson said in a post to social media.

“We left and I went back this morning and found out that five minutes earlier to me arriving last night a masked man walked in with a gun and struck the worker over the head and held him at gunpoint to open the cash drawers and safe.”
