Surveillance video of an armed robbery at a cellphone store in DeKalb County shows the brazen and terrifying moments where a hooded man grabs an employee and drags her by her leg as she screams.
The incident took place around 8:30 p.m. Thursday when the suspect walked into a Sprint store on Fairington Drive near I-20 in Lithonia, DeKalb police told Channel 2 Action News.
The man, who is wearing a yellow vest, walked up to the counter, whipped out a gun and then pushed the employee to the ground, the video shows. He then dragged her to the back room.
