Tilahun shared surveillance video of the robbery with Boston 25 News, and told Boston 25 News it’s the second time she’s been robbed in six months.
After she gave the gunman money and he ran off, she locked the door and called police. She told Boston 25 News she believes she’s being targeted because she’s a woman and works alone.
“I’m scared, is he coming back again, I don’t know I’m scared,” she said. “it’s my work, I come here every day, it’s my life.”
Revere police are reviewing the surveillance video and investigating.
