MIDVALE — A man got away after robbing a restaurant Wednesday evening, officials said.
Around 7:30 p.m., a man entered Moochie's Meatballs at 7725 State St. wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt that was pulled up and cinched closed, according to the Unified Police Department.
He asked the cashier for money, and when the employee declined, he pulled out a gun and racked the slide. The cashier then gave him money, and the man fled in a black Honda, police said.
Witnesses were unsure if it was a Honda Accord or Civic and speculated it was between a 2005 and 2010 model, police said. It is unclear whether the man was alone or had a getaway driver.
No one was injured, and there were no shots fired.
