The Austin Police Department is seeking the public's help in identifying a suspect involved in a robbery assault at a downtown Austin grocery store. The suspect hit and injured an employee who confronted him while attempting to recover stolen merchandise. The same man had stolen from the store earlier in the day and returned later, prompting the employee to call the police. The suspect is described as a black man in his 30s to 40s with a thin build, black hair, and a goatee. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Austin Police Department's Robbery unit or submit an anonymous tip through the Capital Area Crime Stoppers Program.
