A store clerk was attacked by a large group trying to rob a 7-Eleven store in Anaheim Sunday.

Video from the scene shows two masked men initially attacking the clerk, trying to break through the door.

A suspect in a gray hoodie carrying what appeared to be a large rock threatened the clerk to back away from the door, opening the opportunity for the mob members to enter the store.

The crime happened around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, in the store at 550 South Knott Ave., near Orange Avenue, according to KTLA5.

Several members, mostly men can be seen ransacking the store, climbing on counters, pushing shelves and throwing merchandise. Video also shows the crowd leaving the store with stolen items.

Some members were seen filming the assault-robbery and laughing at clerk with bloodied face.

The robbery follows a series of separate flash-mob style robberies targeting 7-Eleven convenience stores across Southern California.
