The suspects then dragged the clerk to a backroom to open the safe. The victim failed to open the safe, as he passed out from his injuries. The suspects then took an undisclosed amount of cash from the register and fled the area in a southwest direction. The store clerk was treated for a head laceration at JFK Hospital in Cherry Hill and released.
