Ipswich police have charged two men following an alleged attempted armed robbery at Leichhardt this evening which left a man seriously injured.
It will be alleged around 6.20pm one of the men entered a takeaway food business on Toongarra Road armed with a knife and demanded money from staff whilst the second man remained outside.
A physical altercation has then allegedly occurred between a 25-year-old male staff member and the man, resulting in the staff member being stabbed in the arm.
The two men fled the premises while witnesses called for assistance.
The 25-year-old victim was transported to Ipswich General Hospital with a serious arm injury.
Police located two men at a nearby address in Leichhardt a short time later and took them into custody without further incident.
A 30-year-old Goodna man has been charged with attempted armed robbery and acts intended to maim and is due to appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on June 29.
