MILLBRAE, CA — A suspect accused of robbing a Millbrae 7-Eleven and assaulting a clerk over the weekend was arrested in San Francisco, according to authorities.

The San Mateo County Sheriff's office said deputies fielded a robbery report around 3:30 p.m. Saturday from the 7-Eleven store on the 400 block of El Camino Real.
