Police in New York City want to track down the man accused of trying to rob a Midtown restaurant at knifepoint.
Authorities say the suspect walked into Ruby's Cafe on Oct. 7 and tried to hold up the employees. After entering the restaruant on 3rd Avenue he pointed the knife at the back of a 29-year-old employee and demanded money, police say.
While that employee resisted, police say a 27-year-old worker was able to take the knife away from the suspect.
Police say the man fled without any money and no injuries were reported.
