Columbia, SC (WLTX) - Columbia police are looking for a person they say robbed a Church's restaurant.

Officers say the crime took place October 9 at the Church's located at 4720 Devine Street.

Surveillance video shows the suspect entering the parking lot, and coming into and exiting the store. The man can be seen backing in and out of the parking lot several times before he walks inside.

Police say once inside, the man pointed a gun at several workers and demanded money. One of the workers sustained an injury after slipping during the incident. He was treated at the hospital for minor injuries.

After stealing the money, the suspect left the business and got into a vehicle, possibly a green, two-door Honda.
