A shop assistant has died after a customer beat him and impaled him with a golf club.<\/p>\n

The 66-year-old was attacked on Friday at the Oak Grove Grocery, a small store in a residential area near downtown\u00a0Minneapolis<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A 44-year-old suspect has been arrested on suspicion of murder.<\/p>\n

Police responded to a call just before 1pm and found the victim behind the counter with a golf club impaled through his torso.<\/p>\n

He later died at a hospital.<\/p>\n

Information from witnesses led police to an apartment building across the street – and police say the suspect had barricaded himself inside for six hours.<\/p>\n

After lengthy negotiations, officers took the man into custody without incident.<\/p>\n

Police are still investigating to determine what prompted the attack.<\/p>\n

Neighbours told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that the man had been a fixture at the shop for a long time.<\/p>\n

“We are broken; our hearts are broken,” said Manuela Torres, a friend of the victim.<\/p>\n

A memorial set up outside the store was adorned with candles, flowers and a photo.<\/p>\n

“We know this neighbourhood is hurting tonight,” police chief Brian O’Hara said.<\/p>\n
