The United Bodegas of America is demanding action following recent attacks in New York City.

The owners rallied on Thursday calling for additional security measures to keep employees safe, including panic buttons.

In one shocking incident in the Bronx, a suspect tried to slash the workers behind the counter before one of them chased him out of the store with a baseball bat.

News 12 has also reported many armed robberies of bodegas in Brooklyn this year.
