The fit of rage unfolded at the 7-Eleven at 1020 S. Bristol Street early morning on Aug. 25.

The manager said the man became irate after he was told he could not buy beer at 3 a.m.

He assaulted the clerk, shoved displays and items off the front counter and smashed the lottery machine.

Then he took a baseball bat and bashed all the store's front windows before taking off.

The damage was estimated at $2,000.

Anyone with information on the suspect's whereabouts should call police at 714-245-8647.
