Philadelphia police are searching for the suspect who they say knocked a man to the floor, punched him and stole his cash at a Chinese food store earlier this week.

The theft happened at the Golden City Chinese food store on the 4100 block of North Broad Street around 1 a.m. Tuesday.

Police say the suspect entered the business, knocked the 51-year-old man to the floor, punched him and then pinned him down. The suspect then reached into the man's pocket and stole $230 in cash before leaving the store, police said.

The entire incident was caught on surveillance camera.

The suspect was last seen headed south on Broad Street.
