He then left the scene on a blue mountain bike.
On Thursday, meanwhile, a man threatened staff at a business on Harold's Cross Road with a knife, demanding cash and medicine.
The man in the second incident was wearing a black hoodie top and grey tracksuit bottoms, and was carrying a grey/black bag.
