FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- A convenience store clerk was held without bail after he allegedly attacked a boy for not buying a yo-yo, police said.

Shreiteh was working at the store Monday morning when 14-year-old Jeremius Howard came in with his sister. As the girl browsed for snacks, Howard played with a yo-yo, police said.

After she paid for the items, Howard put down the toy and tried to leave the store. Police said Shreiteh demanded the boy pay for the yo-yo, but Howard told him it was already opened and he didn't want it. Shreiteh then punched the boy, according to police.

He pulled Howard behind the counter and stabbed him on the back of his arm with a butcher knife, police said.

Another clerk, Azzam Sabla, 41, tried to stop Shreiteh and suffered a serious wound to his right forearm. Howard was treated and released. Sabla remained hospitalized.

"I can't believe a $1.59 yo-yo would cause people to be stabbed," said Marilyn Burch, Howard's cousin.

Howard told him it was already opened and he didn't want it.

I wonder if the kid opened it...then it would make a little more sense.

OK not really....
