BRONX - Cops are looking for a pair of suspects in connection with a Bronx bodega beatdown in which an employee was assaulted with a broom stick, mop and a 2-litter bottle of soda.




At around 4 pm on February 23, two men walked into a grocery store on Gun Hill Road off of Boston Road. There they attacked a store worker with a broom, mop and even a 2-litter bottle of soda.
