When the clerk attempted to shut the cash drawer, officers say the man bit her on the arm, then punched her in the face.
The man then fled the store with cash. He got into the passenger side of a white Mitsubishi SUV and the driver pulled away.
The man is described as black, 25 to 35 years of age. He's 6-feet, one-inch tall and weighs 250 pounds. He was wearing a red T-shirt, black shorts and red Nike tennis shoes.
