Officers were dispatched to the Subway at around 9 p.m. on Jan. 16. Upon arrival, they learned that the man, who allegedly wore a dark facemask, dark clothing and held a pocket knife, had entered the establishment and jumped over the counter while employees were closing the store. The man then confronted an employee at the back of the store. The employee ran through the back door, and as she attempted to close the door behind her, the man barreled through, knocked her to the ground and fled.
