One of two men who pulled off a “beer run” at a Phoenix AM/PM convenience store repeatedly smacked the store clerk with a case of beer when he tried to intervene.
Phoenix Police Sergeant Darren Burch, the Silent Witness Coordinator, announced today that there’s a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the a suspects’ arrests.
There’s video footage of the assault, and it looks painful. See that footage at the bottom of the post.
Here’s the information released today by Burch:

Suspect #2: Hispanic male, 20-25 years old, 5’9″, 180 lbs.
Suspect Vehicle: Dark blue Chevy Avalanche truck
On Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 11:25 pm the suspects entered the AM/PM and attempted to commit a “beer run”. The store clerk tried to stop the suspects and one of the suspects began to physically assault the clerk by punching him repeatedly and hitting him with a box of beer. As the suspects exited the store the clerk followed and the other suspect punched the clerk. The suspects entered a dark blue Chevy Avalanche where one of the suspects grabbed a black handgun. The clerk then retreated back into the store.
If you want to claim that money, you have to call 480-948-6377 or go to the website with the info.
