1 arrested, 1 sought in violent robbery caught on camera

Police are searching for one of two men they say viciously attacked a store clerk and stole cash from the register.

The owner of the Community Convenience Store says the robbery happened in a matter of minutes.

They were just about to close for the night when the two suspects walked in.

Cameras were rolling as the store clerk fought back after a man jumped over the counter and started beating him.

Meanwhile, another man - who Boston Police identified as Joshua Westbrook of Quincy - reached over and grabs cash from the register.

Owner Prabal Barum says he was in the back room when it all happened.

"Suddenly I hear a big sound and then I came here...." said Barum.

Lorenzo Reed lives across the street and had just moved from Miami.

"I actually was in the kitchen and I heard someone screaming and I looked out and saw people running, so I came out," said Reed.

Barum thinks the two planned the robbery down to the last detail.

Police eventually arrested Westbrook, who appeared in Dorchester District Court on Friday where a judge set his bail aat $500.

Thankfully, the clerk is OK.

If you have any information on the robbery, call police.
