Boston police are asking for the public’s help identifying two men in connection to an attack and robbery at a downtown convenience store on Wednesday night.
Police arrived at Adam’s Convenience — located at 149 Hanover St. in Boston — and found a man and a woman who said they were attacked and robbed as they brought trash out to a dumpster behind the building shortly after 11 p.m.
The woman was punched and kicked in the back of the head, resulting in a small cut, according to police. The suspects also punched the man in the face several times and ripped off a gold chain with a pendant that he was wearing, police said.
