Clerk Hit During Armed Robbery at Southington Burger King

A clerk was hit in the head during an armed robbery at a Southington Burger King early Wednesday morning.

Police said three to four men went into the back of the fast-food restaurant at 1850 Meriden Waterbury Turnpike as the employee was taking out the garbage just after midnight and hit the man over the head.

One of the robbers had a gun and the group fled in a silver Acura with tinted windows, heading south on Knotter Drive toward Cheshire. 

The victim was taken to a local hospital to be treated for a non-life-threatening head injury.

A description of the vehicle was broadcasted to surrounding towns as well as state police, but police have not found the car.

How much cash was taken is not known.
