The suspects then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash and narcotics.
Police believed the driver of the getaway vehicle waited outside.
The pharmacist suffered minor injuries.
The suspects are described as being dark-skinned, of average height and having slim builds.
The first had black curly hair that was short on sides and longer on top. He was wearing a grey hoodie, dark pants and dark shoes.

The third also had on a dark jacket/hoodie with dark pants and light shoes.
The fourth was wearing a dark jacket/hoodie, dark pants with detailing on the front, dark shoes and dark glasses.
The vehicle is described as a Chrysler 300, possibly a 2006 model that was a light metallic colour, possibly light green or silver.
