A man who was said to be armed with a knife robbed a Shell station in Orange Tuesday night.

The incident was reported just after 9:30 p.m. at the station in the 8000 block of Tustin Avenue, Orange Police Department Sgt. Cullen said.

A clerk told arriving officers that a man entered the store and threatened him with the knife.
