An Aquebogue gas station was robbed at gunpoint last night, Riverhead police said.

A clerk reported to investigators that a man — only described as tall — wearing a ski mask and black hooded sweatshirt entered Empire Gas Station on Main Road just after 10 p.m. and forcibly removed cash from him.

The clerk said the man cut him across the face with a razor blade during the robbery, then proceeded to flee on foot.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Riverhead Police at 727-4500, ext. 633.
