Windsor police are hoping someone can identify a man suspected in a violent robbery over the weekend.

According to Constable Bianca Jackson, the man threatened and assaulted an employee who confronted him. The employee suffered minor injuries.

Police have released surveillance camera images of the man and asked the public to take a look.

The suspect is described as a Black male, 30 to 40 years old, bald and clean-shaven, with a medium build. He was wearing grey pants, a dark-coloured shirt and jacket, dark-coloured shoes, a black-and-white baseball hat, and glasses. He was carrying a grey backpack.
