A man was robbed at gunpoint early Monday morning on the Upper West Side, a police spokesperson told West Side Rag.
An unidentified man was in the fast-food location at 2726 Broadway, between West 104th and 105th streets, about 12:45 a.m., when a different man flashed a gun at him, police said.
The firearm-toting man proceeded to then grab the victim’s cellphone and wallet, before fleeing the McDonald’s, police said. It is unclear whether the robber was with other people at the time, police said.
There were no injuries, police added.
There have also been no arrests as of Monday at 9 a.m., NYPD said.
West Side Rag will update this story with any new information.

I used to love this neighborhood but that is fading.
Thanks, Obama!
How did this get past the “moderators”?? I’d like to know your secret!! 😀
Silly Ethan.
Robbery is not political, Ethan.
Lols
Obama didn’t rob the man! I bet the robber was a MAGA.
I assume you also believed Jussie Smollet?!
Yea lotta MAGA robbing people in NYC. SMH. If this person was MAGA they’d have a pic and full description..
Because you’ve read the statistics on MAGA robberies…. Wow.
Needs more cops, more cameras, more arrests and holdings.
If more police, arrests and holdings were going to reduce crime, the US would already be the safest country on the planet.
The scaffolding in front of this McDonalds has led to a camp of homeless living in front of the adjacent vacant storefront. I get creeped out walking past this group at night and there are also a huge number of delivery bikes/scooters parked outside. It is now a highly congested walkway and dangerous at night. I pray the scaffolding comes down and the vacant store gets a tenant. This small stretch of sidewalk is currently a bane on the neighborhood.
This us a dangerous block no matter what kind of excuse you can come up for it.
The whole neighborhood is seedy, with any luck it will bring the rents down
Yes, this McD’s was always borderline and the scaffolding hasn’t helped.
Is this considered a violent crime, despite no shots being fired?
Depends on the degree. Robbery in the 3rd degree, no. Robbery in the 1st degree, yes
This stretch of Braodway is disgusting. The scaffolding has been there for over 10 years. I have made calls to 311 and to Gale Brewer. No one cares.
First of all, what is this victim out at 12:45 AM and what is McDonald’s open at 12:45 AM?
This is NYC, what the heck is “wrong” about being out at 12:45am???
I love that area — Plowshares, Cafe Du Soleil, the new Shakespeare & Co going in. But yeah, the scaffolding and that McDonald’s really suck.
