Authorities in eastern Arkansas say an assailant is sought after the robbery of someone outside a Wal-Mart store nearly a week ago.

The West Memphis Police Department said in a statement that the robber brandished a small handgun and demanded money from a victim Saturday at the store’s location at 798 W. Service Road in West Memphis.

When the victim complied, the assailant ran back to a red car and traveled toward West Service Road, according to authorities.

The robber, a white male, is seen in surveillance footage wearing a dark-colored hooded jacket.

A more detailed physical description was not immediately available Friday afternoon.
