THIS is the shocking moment a balaclava thug grabbed a tiny female shopkeeper by the hair and held her at knifepoint as she refused to open her till during a harrowing East Kilbride robbery.
The brute stormed the My Local Store wielding the blade and shoved the woman, 40, before grabbing her hair.
CCTV footage was released of the terrifying ordeal.
And shop bosses have put up a £1,000 reward for anyone with information about the assault with intent to rob.
The thug can be heard shouting 'open the f*****g till' but, bravely, the shopkeeper refuses even though he is shoving her while armed with the knife.
The footage from the store last month has been watched and shared thousands of times on social media.
Detective Constable Craig Jolly from Cambuslang CID said: “This was a terrifying ordeal for the two women working in the store, and thankfully nobody was left seriously injured or requiring hospital treatment.
“This despicable individual must be caught.
"I would appeal to anyone who was in the vicinity of Cedar Drive to consider whether they saw anything suspicious or noticed a man matching the above description making off from the scene.
“I would also urge any motorists with dashcams to check their footage in case they have captured anything which could be of significance to our investigation."
“Anyone with information is asked to contact Cambuslang CID via 101, quoting incident number 3479 of Wednesday March 27, 2019.
"Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence."
