The pair then fled the store northbound on 3rd Avenue.
Police said that the 27-year-old victim sustained a minor eye injury and was taken to a local hospital. The other employee was unharmed.Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA .
