    A Nordstrom employee working at the Washington Square Mall in Tigard was cut in the face after confronting a man suspected of shoplifting during Black Friday shopping, police said.

    The incident occurred around 6:40 p.m. when a security guard attempted to stop a man identified as 23-year-old Tyler Vincent Johnson, Tigard police said.

    Johnson was armed with a knife and cut the face of the employee as he fled, said Jim Wolf, public information officer for the Tigard Police Department.

    Another security guard followed Johnson until Johnson left in a vehicle, Wolf said.

    Nordstrom security guards told police that another person was seen with Johnson, and police arrested 26-year-old Dylan Green while he was still inside the department store, Wolf said.

    Green was lodged at Washington County Jail on charges of robbery, carrying a concealed weapon and theft.

    Johnson remains at large. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to contact the Tigard police at 503-718-COPS (2677).

    In a Nordstrom in Chicago, a 22-year-old employee was shot and killed Friday, the Associated Press reports. Nordstrom spokeswoman Tara Darrow called the shooting a "really sad and scary situation." She says the company is doing its best to support employees.
