Police said a man entered a supermarket on Polding Street, Yass, at about 9.40pm and allegedly stole a kitchen knife and drank a drink from the store before leaving.
"He entered an adjoining bottle store, where he allegedly approached the counter and threatened the attendant with a knife demanding cash," police said in a statement.
"The attendant complied, handing over a sum of cash before the man ran from the store."
A 32-year-old man was later taken to hospital with a hand injury, and police said they arrested him after he was treated.
He was charged with armed robbery with offensive weapon and police said bail was refused when he appeared at Goulburn Local Court on Wednesday.
