INDIANAPOLIS -- A masked man held up a north side gas station early Thursday morning – demanding cash and threatening to shoot a customer if his demands weren't met.

The robbery happened just after midnight at the Phillips 66 gas station at the intersection of Capitol Avenue and 34th Street, just a few blocks east of Crown Hill Cemetery.

According to witnesses, the masked man entered the gas station with a gun concealed inside a glove. He then demanded money and "stated he would shoot the customer who was in line" if he didn't get it.

Witnesses weren't able to provide a detailed description of the suspect because of the mask.

The suspect fled the scene with an unknown amount of cash. No one was injured during the robbery.
