A man who targeted a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise in Philadelphia brandished a hypodermic needle during the crime. The incident occurred on September 21st just before 7 in the morning.

The male produced the needle and announced he was intent on robbing the place. He then grabbed a female staffer by the arm and informed her he would stab her with his weapon of choice if she attempted to contact law enforcement or refused to open the register.

The man struggled with the employee for a little while before opening up the register himself and stealing money. Once he had the cash, the man left the business and ran down the sidewalk.

Fortunately no one was injured. Police describe the suspect as a 30-something year old white male who stands between 5'8 and 5'9.

During the robbery, he wore black Adidas sweatpants, brightly colored sneakers and a gray hooded sweatshirt. Anyone who recognizes him is asked to contact the department.
