The incident took place around 6:50 a.m. at the Hardee's at 1109 11th St., where officers are collecting evidence and processing the scene.
Sgt. Dale Foster said a black man dressed in all black jumped across the counter and demanded money while brandishing a handgun.
Foster added that the man supposedly then chased employees of the fast food restaurant around the building before fleeing the scene on foot through the back door of the business.
The business closed temporarily this morning so officers could investigate the scene, but cars continued to attempt to pull through the drive through and people tried to enter the business several times.
Officers with the police department and Wayne County Sheriff's Office performed a K-9 track in the immediate vicinity of the business, but it was unsuccessful.
