YORKVILLE — Sam Yafai said he was sitting near the front window of his grocery store, Sam’s Mini Mart, Sunday evening when he saw a car pull up slowly near his Whitesboro Street business.

As the next few minutes unfolded, the grocer would be attacked — and would fight back, police and Yafai said. “The man came in and I stood up to face him and he jumped over the counter and pushed me down,” Yafai recalled the day after the incident.

Yafai said he was kicked in the ribs and a demand for money was made. “He said, ‘I want all your money. Give me your money!’” said the native of Yemen. “I told him, ‘Take it! Take it! I’m just an old man, I don’t want any trouble.’”
