Four arrested after violence breaks out at Mayfair Wawa

Two men and two women were arrested after they allegedly assaulted employees while stealing items from the Wawa at 7001 Roosevelt Blvd.

Four people were arrested and three employees were injured after a violent incident early Friday morning at the Wawa on the corner of Roosevelt Boulevard and Tyson Avenue.

Officers responded to the scene just after 2:30 a.m. and found a group of two men and two women ransacking the store and assaulting the Wawa employees, police said.

One employee, a 21-year-old man, was bitten on the right arm and had scratches on his face and neck, according to authorities. A 25-year-old man who works at the store was sprayed with mace in the face, and a 20-year-old female employee suffered a cut to the lip, according to police.

All three were taken to Nazareth Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition, authorities said.

Police said the four suspects were arrested at the scene. It’s unclear what charges they will face. The Northeast Detective Division is investigating the incident. ••
