Surveillance video released by the Philadelphia Police Department shows a man holding a gun over the counter of a market on the 400 block of North 54th Street in Philadelphia.
According to police, the unknown man walked into the Morel Food Market on Tuesday and pointed a gun at an employee and demanded money from the cash register.
