Police are seeking a woman in connection with an assault on two employees at a South Bronx store.
The confrontation happened at about 9:21 p.m. on Oct. 7 inside a business on East 149th Street, and she has not been seen since she fled on foot, according to News 12.
Investigators said the woman went behind the counter and tried to take food without paying. Two male employees confronted her, and the exchange turned into a verbal dispute.
During the dispute, she punched a 45-year-old employee in the face and hit a 53-year-old employee in the face with a blunt object. The older employee suffered a facial laceration.
Police have released images of the woman and are asking the public to help identify her. Investigators described her as a suspect in an attempted robbery. Anyone with information is urged to call 1-800-577-TIPS.
