Convenience store near airport robbed again

A man armed with a knife robbed a Mapco market on Donelson Pike, police said Monday morning. Metro police Capt. Randy Hickerson said that at about 3:45 a.m. today, a man armed with a knife entered the store at 465 Donelson Pike and demanded money from the clerk. The clerk gave him money from the register, and the robber then fled on foot. It was the second robbery at this location in less than a week.
