??7Online??: “Violent gas station robberies in Newark”:http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=local&id=5444537. Okay, this is just creepy.
Two terrifying, violent robberies happened just blocks apart in Newark Monday night. Now, police are looking for the suspect who ran off.
Both of the victims in robberies were knifed, police say.
Gas station workers are on edge after not one but two Exxon stations were targeted, police say, by a suspect flashing a knife but quick to use it.
The Exxon station on Nesbit Street in Newark closed early Monday night. Crime scene investigators were on the scene. Missing from the picture: the attendant.
The family says he is 61-year-old Alfred Scott. He was a constant fixture at the pumps until someone robbed him Monday night and plunged a knife into his side.
“He doesn’t bother anyone. He works, he goes home, he’s been in the service … he doesn’t bother anyone,” said Janet Scott, the victim’s wife.
