LOS ANGELES -- Police are searching for two men, who robbed a McDonald's restaurant in the Baldwin Village area at gunpoint and assaulted the manager before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of cash.
The hold-up at the McDonald's on the corner of La Brea Avenue and Rodeo Road was reported about 8:25 p.m. Friday, Officer Jason Lee of the Los Angeles Police Department's Media Relations Section said. The two masked bandits hit the restaurant's manager, a man in his 40s, leaving him with lacerations on the head, Lee said.
The pair then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, running eastbound on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. They were described as wearing dark clothing, with one robber armed with a handgun, Lee added.
Arriving police summoned Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics to the scene to transport the victim to a hospital, Lee said. His condition was not immediately known.
Police retrieved surveillance video of the robbery, a Newsreel Video camera crew reported.
