The two men entered the store at about 4 p.m. on Sunday, September 18, while Schwartz was working alone. They asked him to get something from a high shelf, then knocked him off the ladder, beat him, and tied him up. One of them flashed a knife. “He put it to my face and said if you want to live and I just nodded my head,” Schwartz said in the interview. The men stuffed about $16,000 worth of merchandise into duffle bags and fled. A neighbor saw the men running away and called police, which may have saved Schwartz’s life. “People in this neighborhood do look out for each other and I've had so many people that have called me and checked on me, and it's been wonderful,” he said in the interview.
