Caught On Video: Bronx Bodega Pipe Attack
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Police are looking for a man they say assaulted a clerk at a Bronx bodega with a metal pipe.
Police say the man got into a dispute last month with the clerk after he refused credit at a store on Third Avenue in Mott Haven.
The suspect allegedly came back to the bodega with a metal pipe and attacked the 37-year-old worker, breaking his arm and causing a wound to his head.
The attacker then took off, and the worker was taken to Lincoln Hospital for treatment.
