JAMAICA, Queens (WABC) -- Police are searching for the suspects behind an attempted armed robbery at a store in Queens.
The three men walked into a smoke shop on Hillside Avenue in Jamaica around 8 p.m. on Friday and one of them pulled out a gun.
The gunman then tried to grab the store clerk's arm and the suspects demanded cash, but the clerk, who was behind a clear barrier, pulled his arm away and refused to give it to them.
The attempted robbers eventually took off empty-handed and no one was injured.
