Police said the assault occurred at 7-Eleven at the McCully Shopping Center, 960 Kapiolani Boulevard shortly after 5 a.m. on Jan. 22.

A woman entered the store when the employee asked her to put on a face mask. The woman assaulted the employee and fled. Police said the victim sustained substantial bodily injuries in the attack and was taken by ambulance to a hospital for treatment.

The suspect is wanted for second-degree assault. She is described as being in her 20s with black straight hair and a fair complexion.
