Cameras captured some of them going into the office, attacking the worker and reaching into his pocket to steal some cash.

Employees at the gas station said this isn't the first time it's been robbed or that this particular night shift worker has been attacked.

"I saw the video on the news, and I actually felt really bad that those type of things are happening here in Revere," said customer Archie Chinchilla.

The employee, Ibrahim is a staple in the community - working the night shift to pump gas for customers. By Tuesday, he was back at work.

"He's really genuine, and we all love him, and I hope... I just hope they catch them because my heart broke this morning," said one customer who stopped in for gas.

Anyone with information is asked to test the Revere Police Department's anonymous tip line by texting "REVEREPD" to 847411.
