Manager at Philadelphia McCormick & Schmick’s tied up during armed robbery, police say
The gunman stole several thousand dollars from the restaurant's safe, according to police.
The manager of a Center City steakhouse was assaulted and robbed of several thousand dollars as he prepared to close the restaurant early Sunday morning, according to police.
The robbery took place about 1 a.m. as the victim was about to leave McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood and Steaks on South Broad Street, across from City Hall. While the manager was in the restaurant’s rear office, an unidentified man entered, drew a gun, and ordered the safe’s contents emptied into a backpack.
The manager was then forced to lie on the floor as the robber bound his hands, police said. The suspect fled on foot.
Authorities ask that anyone with information call 215-686-8477.
