Officers responded to 1400 Liberty Ave and spoke with an attendant who said a red vehicle with three to four occupants drove up and requested gas, police said. As the attendant was pumping gas, a man got out of the vehicle and pressed an object against the back of an attendant and told him not to move, police said.
