Video shows one of the suspects pushing the attendant to the ground and putting up his fists as his accomplices raid the station attendant booth.

At one point, the attendant grabs a squeegee used to clean windshields and chases after the suspects, who run away and flee in a blue sedan that appears to have New Jersey plates.

The attendant refused medical attention at the scene.

About $800 in cash was stolen from the gas station, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
