PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Police are seeking the public's help in identifying two suspects wanted for an attack and robbery in Frankford.
Officials say the incident happened on the 1300 block of Unity Street.
Authorities say one of the suspects punched a store clerk with brass knuckles several times as the worker was scooping water ice for him and his alleged accomplice.
