PHOTOS: Authorities are searching for suspects in a robbery at a Route 9 gas station which sent a man with a stab-wound to the hospital.
Two men were reportedly armed with a knife and gun when they held up the Citgo gas station at the Lakewood-Howell border on Saturday night, sources tell TLS. Some time during the robbery, the gas station attendant was stabbed by one of the suspects, and possibly pistol-whipped by the other, sources say.
The suspects then made off with cash, and fled the area.
The victim was transported by Howell First Aid to Jersey Shore Medical Center in stable condition.
One of the suspects was described as a black male dressed in all black, a police source told TLS.
A K9 and helicopter are assisting in the search in both Howell and Lakewood.
