A member of staff was hit over the head with some kind of instrument when two masked intruders stormed Kelly’s Spar shop in Strathfoyle around 9.20 pm on Saturday night.
Another member of staff had a knife pointed at them in what police described as a “terrifying ordeal”.
The two men fled the scene and one male was later arrested by police who quickly arrived on the scene.
A police spokesperson said: “A 42-year-old man has been arrested, interviewed and charged with robbery, assault and possession of an offensive weapon.
