Robbers assault some hostages at Los Angeles store
Posted: Jan 11, 2013 11:29 AM by The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police are seeking at least two men who held 14 workers hostage at a clothing store near Los Angeles International Airport.
One employee was stabbed and another was sexually assaulted before the hours-long hostage drama ended early Friday with a police SWAT team surging into the shop.
Police are also trying to determine whether a vehicle found abandoned in neighboring Culver City was the getaway vehicle.
The ordeal at the Nordstrom Rack store began at about 11 p.m. when a man called 911 and reported that his girlfriend had called and said there were gunmen in the store.
One hostage was treated and released at the scene for a non-life threatening stab wound.
Another employee had been sexually assaulted, although police declined to provide details.
