Security camera footage from the early morning hours reveals a tense confrontation between a store clerk and a man dressed entirely in black near the entrance of the store. The video shows the clerk raising his arm while keeping a safe distance from the suspect, who appears to be holding a knife-like object.

According to police reports, the man entered the store around 3 a.m. Without saying a word, he pointed what looked like a kitchen knife at the male clerk and demanded money. The clerk responded by shouting loudly, which startled the suspect and caused him to flee the scene without taking any cash.

At the time of the incident, the store was empty except for the clerk, who was unharmed. This attempted robbery has raised safety concerns among residents in the surrounding neighborhood.

One local resident shared their worries: “There aren’t many streetlights in the area, so we’ve installed security cameras ourselves, fearing something like this might happen one day.”

The suspect escaped on a motorcycle and remains at large. Police are currently reviewing security camera footage and continuing their search for the individual. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward.
