A man suspected of smashing a door to escape after trying to rob a convenience store last week in Methuen, Massachusetts, was arrested Tuesday.
Police say Joshua Pittochelli was caught by state police after a brief chase.
Pittochelli is accused of trying to rob the Stop Quick Convenience Store Wednesday afternoon. According to police, he showed a knife and grabbed the cash register, but the clerk locked the door and cornered him.
Then, police say, he used the register to smash the door and dove through it before escaping in an SUV.
Authorities did not say whether Pittochelli had been charged, simply saying that he had been apprehended.
