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. 

After beating the worker, the pair then started removing items off the shelves. Cops said the stolen items are valued at $50. The victim suffered a cut to the back of his head. 

The attackers then walked out of the store, hopped on a moped and rode off. However, the attackers’ images were captured on video cameras both inside and outside the store.
