A clerk at the store told police the man approached the counter and asked for a carton of cigarettes. When the woman scanned the item, the man reached over the counter and grabbed her arm, according to the police report. When he was unable to grab the cigarettes, he left the store and ran into Chambers Street, police say.
The clerk described the suspect as a white man with a thin build, blond hair and blue eyes, according to the report. He was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and jeans.
The above photo was taken from the store’s security camera footage of the incident. Anyone who can identify the man should contact the Fairfield Police at 203-254-4840.
