Toledo police are seeking information about two men recorded with a security camera in an incident in which a South Toledo convenience store was robbed of an undisclosed amount of cash.

Made about 10:45 a.m. Monday at Stop & Go, 2154 South Ave., the video shows a man jump over the counter and hit a clerk just after the latter opened a register. A fight ensues, during which another man leans over the counter and hits the clerk with a baseball bat in the face.

The two assailants then take cash from two registers, with the clerk staying out of their way. The clerk then suddenly pulls out a handgun, at which time the assailants flee.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Stopper at 419-255-1111.
