Raw video: Surveillance camera captures man attacking gas station employee during robbery in Burlington.
A New Jersey store clerk was viciously beaten and stabbed in broad daylight during an armed robbery caught on tape.
Burlington police officers released the surveillance video Wednesday showing a March 19 attempted robbery at a Super Speedy Mart on Route 130.
Officials said the knife-wielding suspect entered the store just after 2:30 p.m. and walked straight to the 58-year-old clerk, who was sitting behind the register.
The suspect demanded money before brutally attacking the clerk, stabbing him during the altercation.
The suspect, described by police as a black male, 5 feet 8 inches and wearing all dark clothing with a mask, fled the store with an undisclosed amount of money.
The clerk was taken to Cooper University Medical Center in Camden, where he was treated for life-threatening injuries. He has since been released, police said.
