Police are still searching for a suspect in the attempted robbery at the Burger King at E. 149th Street and the Grand Concourse around 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Video shows a woman handing over money to pay for an order—but when a worker goes to place the cash in the register, she leaps over the counter and grabs a wad of cash.
The theft led to a struggle between the woman and three workers, one of whom put her in a headlock and dragged her to the floor, video shows.
The employees were able to retrieve the stolen cash, and the woman fled the Burger King empty-handed, police said.
One employee, a 23-year-old man, suffered a laceration to his head during the struggle. He refused medical attention at the scene.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
