PITTSFIELD (AP) – A man wearing a Halloween-style mask robbed the Pittsfield Pharmacy of prescription drugs Tuesday and stabbed an elderly man during the heist, police said.

The robber, who displayed a gun and knife, apparently stabbed the victim in the stomach after the victim struck him with a cane, police said.

The wound was superficial and police said the man didn’t even realize he’d been stabbed until he arrived at the police station to give his account of the robbery.

The suspect fled on foot after the 11:30 a.m. robbery.

Investigators said the crime is similar to another robbery in Fairfield last month, when a robber fitting a similar description and armed with a gun and knife robbed a Rite-Aid pharmacy and fled with narcotics.

Police are asking for help in finding the robber, who is described as a man in his late 20s or early 30s with dark, curly, shoulder-length hair, a mustache and goatee. would be safe hanging out with mom,” she said.
