Police are looking for a suspect wanted in connection to an armed robbery at a Subway restaurant in Scripps Ranch Wednesday night.
Jason Patton was the only customer in the sandwich shop on Carroll Canyon Road when the suspect came in.
Patton was eating his sub and on his phone, so he didn’t initially notice anything was wrong.
Then, at around 8:30 p.m., the robbery suspect demanded money, according to the San Diego Police Department.
“He sort of brought his backpack up, put it on the counter, showed a weapon, but didn’t say anything that loudly,” Patton told NBC 7. “Just kind of talked to the clerk and asked for all the money.”
There were three employees working at the time, but only one was up front.
The suspect escaped north on Carroll Canyon Road, according to SDPD.

While he fled, some of the cash fell out of the suspect’s bag, officers said.
SDPD described the suspect as a man in his 40s or 50s. He was last seen wearing a hoodie and dark jeans.
No injuries were reported, according to police.
Though Patton admitted he was a little shaken up. “It does make you think about life a little bit,” he said.
The Subway temporarily shut down after the robbery.
