An independent witness told police the suspect left the area in a silver or gray Infiniti or Nissan.

Police are also investigating another robbery from Sunday, this time at on Villa Avenue. The incidents are unrelated, police said.

The Walgreens store manager saw a white male – described as in his mid-40s, 6-feet tall, of medium build with shoulder length brown hair, a mustache, and wearing a tan jacket and jeans -- take some items without paying. The manager attempted to restrain the suspect in a bear hug; the suspect bit the manager on the wrist, police said.

The suspect managed to get away and drove off with another passenger in a gray 1993 Mercury Tracer, police said. The owner of the vehicle was identified as a Trumbull resident and police will apply for a warrant, according to the report.
