Newton Walgreens Employee Interrupts Pharmacy Robbery
NEWTON (CBS) - It happened quickly at a Walgreens Pharmacy.
A robber with a knife jumped over the drug store counter, confronting the pharmacist and frightening a terrified clerk.

All of this was caught of video.
But it doesn't end there - a 67-year-old employee heard the commotion and saw the robbery happening.
The man got on the store's public address system and called for someone to call 911. Then, the robber attacked him.
