TORONTO — Police are asking the public for help identifying two suspects wanted in connection with a violent convenience store robbery that left an elderly clerk “severely beaten.”

Two men wearing bandanas over their faces entered the Super Queen’s Market convenience store near Queen Street West and Bathurst Street at 4 a.m. on Sept. 15.

Police said one man jumped over the counter, grabbed the 73-year-old male clerk and held him while a second man punched him in the head and body.

“He’s an old man and two years ago he had liver cancer surgery so he’s a fragile man,” said store owner John Huh.

“I can’t understand actually. I’m from Korea — in Korean culture we respect our elderly people.” Tweet This
