MILLBRAE — A San Bruno man already on bail after allegedly brandishing a gun during a confrontation on a San Mateo road was arrested Wednesday in connection to an alleged robbery and assault of a convenience store cashier, according to authorities.
San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a reported robbery at 5:14 a.m. Wednesday at the 7-Eleven on the 400 block of El Camino Real in Millbrae. Deputies found a person suffering from facial injuries.
The person, a clerk, told officers that they caught a man stealing items from the store and confronted them; the man then began throwing merchandise. The man eventually went behind the counter and began a physical confrontation with the clerk, leading to the assault according to authorities.

Authorities later discovered that the man out of custody on bail after San Mateo city police said he had brandished a gun during a road-rage incident. He was booked into San Mateo County Main Jail after the Wednesday arrest.
