FOREST HILLS, Queens (PIX11) — A shoplifter stabbed a CVS manager in Queens on Tuesday afternoon, police said.
The suspect, a man in his 40s, took cough medicine and hair products around 12:30 p.m., an NYPD spokesman said. He stabbed a manager in the hand, then fled the store.
No arrests have been made and police have not yet released a description of the shoplifter.
About 30 minutes after the CVS incident, a Forest Hills Walgreens worker spotted two shoplifters walking out of a 108th Street store with cards and cash. No arrests have been made in that case.
