Once the employee provided him with an undisclosed amount of currency from the register, authorities noted, the suspect fled from the scene on foot in an unknown direction.
Members of the 112th Precinct responded to the scene. There were no injuries.
No immediate arrests were made, and the investigation by the 112th Precinct Detective Squad is ongoing, police said.
