A clerk at the Harrison Food Mart in Cheviot Friday night shot an armed robbery suspect, police said.

Officers responded to the 4100 block of Harrison Avenue just after 11 p.m. and were told a man in his 20s in a mask and latex surgical gloves pointed a handgun at the clerk of the store, the Cheviot Police Department reported.

Police said the clerk, a concealed carry permit holder, defended himself and struck the suspect.

Investigators report that the suspect was apprehended next door to the store and taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center for treatment.

Officials are asking the public to report any information known about the incident because the suspect was carrying no identification and police have not been able to identify him.

The condition of the suspect is unknown.

Anyone with information can call the Cheviot Police Department at 513-825-2280.
