Attendant
injured
In last week's paper there
was an error in reporting
about the attempted robbery
of the Ultramar Gas Bar on
Huron Road: It was not one
of the would-be thieves who
was hurt but rather the gas
attendant.
The attendant was
working outside pumping
gas and when he went inside
the building again, he was
attacked by a man who tried
to hit him on the head with a
mop. When the attendant put
up his hand to stop the blow
to the head, he was cut -and
this cut later required
stitches at the local' hospital.
As the attendant ran to the
door, he was hit repeatedly.
When he got outside, he saw
a man in a phone booth and
started toward hint for help.
However. he soon realized
that this man was an ac-
complice to the man who was
chasing him and he then ran
across the street to phone
police from a house there.
Before police could arrive,
the two men, one of them
wearing a ski. mask, drove
away in a,white Monte Carlo.
Nothing was stolen from
the gas bar and police are
continuing their in-
vestigation.
