Police have arrested a Woonsocket man accused of robbing a Dartmouth smoke shop at knifepoint last week.

Muhammad Sheikh, 40, is facing numerous charges, including armed robbery, assault and battery, assault with a dangerous weapon, threatening to commit a crime, malicious destruction of property and operating a vehicle with a suspended license.

Officers were called to the King Smoke Shop on State Road Friday evening to investigate reports of an armed robbery.

The suspect, later identified by police as Sheikh, walked into the shop brandishing a knife. Police said Sheikh threatened several employees with the weapon and made verbal threats to kill them “while slashing the knife toward them.”
