Police are looking for the man caught on camera brutally attacking and robbing a store worker in Queens.

Authorities say it appeared to be a planned attack, with the men striking as the victim -- 21-year-old Raed Ali -- was opening the Candy Store deli on 63rd Road in Rego Park.

"He put me in a chokehold, and it was 10 seconds or less and then I was knocked out," he said.

Police say Ali was choked, dragged to the ground, and stabbed, while a second man who has since been arrested raided the cash register for $2,200.
