The staff member received injuries that were not life threatening.
Investigations are ongoing.
This robbery happened less than 24 hours after a similar one on Wednesday, in which a shop assistant in her 20's was left shaken.
A man entered Cake My Day - a bakery on Hopkins Road, shortly before 4pm in the afternoon and brandished a knife while instructing the young woman to empty the till.
He then fled the scene on foot with the cash.
There was no-one else in the shop at the time, and no-one was injured.
