A man robbed a Kansas City restaurant Tuesday night armed with a samurai sword, police said.

The suspect entered Church's Chicken just before 10 p.m. Tuesday wearing a dark-gray hooded sweatshirt and carrying the sword, according to a statement from the Kansas City Police Department.

The man was described as a light-skinned black male standing between 5 foot 4 and 5 foot 5, weighing 120 to 130 pounds.

The suspect drove off in an older-model brown two-toned Chevy pickup truck, possibly from the 1980s.
