PARADISE, Pa. (WHTM) -

Police are seeking a man who robbed a gas station on Lincoln Highway, according to state police.

Troopers said on Friday night a man walked into the Exxon Quik Stop with a large butcher knife and ordered the clerk to get on the floor. That's when a customer came in and disrupted the robbery.

The robber then ran away, according to police.

Police did not say if anything was stolen from the gas station.
