An unknown man responsible for assaulting and robbing an employee inside her business, was caught on tape.
The man walked behind the counter at Good & Plenty Mini Market, 1201 Snyder Ave., at 10:44 a.m. March 21 and struggled with the 42-year-old female store owner, according to police. He punched her and cut her neck with a knife, forcing her to open the register. After clearing the register, he placed the undetermined amount of cash, along with some of woman’s belongings in a white plastic bag.
A 20-year-old woman entered the store during the crime, so the offender directed his attention to her, taking her wallet, cell phone, keys and $5, police said.
The robber fled north on 12th Street and west on Mercy Street where he discarded his zip-up hoodie before continuing north on 13th Street and west on McKean Street, police said. He was described as black with a dark complexion, 5-foot-7; having light facial hair; and wearing a black jacket, royal blue shirt and black sneakers with white soles.
A medic transported the employee to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital where she was treated for a laceration to her neck, according to police.
