State police are looking for the man who robbed a Subway sandwich shop in Marlborough at knifepoint yesterday afternoon.
The armed robbery happened at the sandwich shop located at 1 South Main Street and state police received a 911 call reporting it just before 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
The cash register was opened when a man with a knife came in through the back door, pushed the cashier and store manager out of the way, brandished a knife and stole $60 from the register, police said.
The store manager struggled with the man, who ran out the back door and to a vehicle that was parked near an adjacent business.
Police said the store manager chased after him, but the robber managed to get away in an older four-door gold or rust-colored sedan.
Witnesses said the license plate had black letters and numbers on a white background and the partial registration was EL942 or IE942, police said.
One witness said the vehicle had a loud exhaust and was headed east on Route 66.
