Man working at 7-Eleven petrol station had knife held to his throat on first shift Police investifate the scene at the 7-Eleven robbery. Mohsin Afrasiab and trainee Muhammad Aurangzeb at the scene. A MAN had a knife held to his throat during a robbery while working his first shift at a service station in Sydney's west this morning. The 24-year-old Pakistani national, Muhammad Aurangzeb, was held up while working behind the counter of the 7-Eleven petrol station on Popondetta Rd, Emerton, about 1.10am. Mr Aurangzeb said two men armed with knives and wearing balaclavas held the knife to his throat before stealing cash from the till. "They jumped over the counter and put a knife to my neck and said 'open the till, give me the money' and then pushed me into the office," he said. This is my first day, I came at nine for training, but I won't be coming back. My brother said 'don't work here, it's a very dangerous area.' He said 'keep inside the store, don't go outside.' Co-worker Mohsin Afrasiab, 20, was standing outside when the robbery unfolded. I've been robbed here twice before this. Once two weeks ago and a few months ago as well. It is believed the robbers wearing grey tops and black pants stole about $500 and were out in a few minutes taking off on foot. Police arrived minutes later and established a crime scene and interviewed the two workers. Investigations by Mount Druitt Police into the robbery are continuing.
