Manassas Journal Messenger | 7-Eleven clerk attacked
A man attacked a convenience store clerk Wednesday night in Dale City and an 11-year-old may have helped in the attack, along with two others, Prince William County police said.
Four people entered the 7-Eleven at 4800 Dale Blvd. around 9:30 p.m. One of them punched the store’s clerk, a 32-year-old man, in the face, police said.
Police are investigating the incident to determine the motive of the attack, said Sgt. Dennis Mangan, police spokesman. Mangan did not know if the attackers had a prior relationship with the victim.
The victim told police that he believes the three other people began to punch and kick him while he was on the ground, including what he described as a roughly 11-year-old boy.
The victim, who became disoriented during the attack, was flown to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries and police are asking for any witnesses to come forward to help identify the attackers.
