FAYETTE COUNTY, Pa. — Two violent robberies happened within minutes of each other in Fayette County on Sunday.
The first happened at the Dollar General on Gallatin Avenue.
Channel 11 got a copy of the surveillance video Tuesday of a worker attacked with a brick by a masked robber as she enters the store.
He didn't get away with anything. As for that worker, she's expected to be OK.
"It's a shame to get what you want you have to use a brick and use force on a female employee who's just trying to do her job and earn a living,” Pennsylvania State Trooper Broadwater said.

Minutes later, a second armed robbery happened at the Sunoco outside of Uniontown.
A worker was closing down the beer portion of the store when he came face to face with another masked robber.
"I can see his eyes and when I tried to take off his mask, he cut me a couple times on the hand and I just left back to the Sunoco,” the worker said.

The worker was too scared to go on camera but showed us the bandages covering the cuts.
He believes the same thief who robbed them last month with a gun and thought he was grabbing for a nightly deposit bag; instead, it was his lunch box.
