Man Slashed Employee With Box Cutter To Steal TV

An unknown man slashed at a store employee with a box cutter in order to steal a TV Wednesday morning, and Nassau police are seeking the public's help to find him.

According to police, a man tried to leave Walmart, located at 77 Green Acres Road in Valley stream, at 7:48 a.m. while carrying a TV and not paying for it. An 18-year-old female employee approached the man, which is when he pulled out a box cutter and slashed at the woman's arm. Thankfully, he only cut her jacket and she was uninjured.

The man fled on foot with the television and was seen getting into a light blue or gray Honday Pilot and driving off north on Green Acres Road.

The robber was described as a black man, 6 feet tall, approximately 40 to 50 years old, with a stocky build, wearing a gray sweater, grey hat, black pants, black shoes and a Walmart vest.
