The wound required 10 stitches to his left arm. The four men, described as black and traveling in a 1968 Ford, then headed north from Hollandale, Parker said.

Hollandale police, who Parker said arrived on the scene about four minutes after the armed robbery, radioed area law enforcement agencies, including the county sheriff's department, requesting roadblocks be set up in the area. Parker said police have no identifications on the four men yet, and surmised they were not from the Hollandale area. The license number of the robbers' car was not obtained and no other witnesses were present at the scene, Parker said.
