NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A duo is accused of stealing items from a Bronx store and then slashing a store clerk who tried to intervene in a violent incident that was caught on camera this week.
On Monday just after 3:30 p.m., a man and a woman entered a Family Dollar at 1227 Webster Ave., where they tried to grab various items and leave without paying, police said.
According to cops, a 29-year-old store clerk tried to stop the thieves, but the male suspect took out a box cutter and used it to slash the clerk across his body.
The clerk was taken to Lincoln Hospital in stable condition with multiple lacerations, authorities said.
Police said the suspects fled on foot to parts unknown with items valued at about $59.
The suspects are described by police as a dark-skinned man and woman who are about 30-40 years old.
Cops released video of the incident and photos of the suspects. The video appears to show the clerk and the woman shoving each other while the man flashes the box cutter in his hand as he walks out of frame.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or on the Spanish line at 1-888-57-PISTA.
