The victim ran inside the store.

A spokesperson for Preston Police said: “This happened on a busy road in broad daylight and must have been terrifying for the victim, especially when he saw the offender get off the motorbike, coming towards him wielding a knife.

“We appreciate that the suspect and his accomplice have their faces covered in these images but we hope that someone may recognise their build or clothing.”
