A man has pulled a knife on a service station attendant on the Gold Coast, demanding tobacco and cash.

CCTV shows the man enter the service station on Smith Street in Southport about 8.50pm and approach the counter to take a face mask, apparently having been asked to do so by the attendant.

He then walked around the store for a short time before grabbing two cooler bags and approaching the counter again where he pulled a kitchen knife from the pocket of his hoodie.
