A woman who works at the Dollarama in Citi Plaza suffered minor injuries Saturday after trying to stop a suspected shoplifter, according to police.

The incident happened at around 4:45 p.m., when police say a man entered the store and grabbed a number of items before trying to leave without paying.

An employee tried to stop the individual and sustained minor injuries when he pulled out a knife during the struggle.

Police say the suspect then fled the scene.

He's described as Caucasian, between 20 and 25-years-old, about 5'5", with a thin build, dirty blonde hair in a bun, and shorter hair on the sides and back of his head.

Police say the suspect was wearing blue pants, a green puffy-style jacket, white sweater, dark shoes, and was carrying a cooler bag with the name "Lynn" on the side.
