Two of the men were carrying large knives and snatched cash before fleeing.

They were wearing dark clothing and had their faces covered with masks or balaclavas. Three were black, while the other is described as being Asian or mixed race.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who saw four men acting suspiciously in the area prior to the incident. Anyone with information is urged to call South Yorkshire Police on 101.
