Tucson police are asking the public for help in identifying an armed robber who pointed a gun to the back of an employee's head at a fast-food restaurant on the south side.

The robbery occurred March 1 at Arby's, 1530 W. Valencia Road, which is west of Interstate 19 near South Midvale Park Road, according to a Tucson Police Department Facebook post Wednesday.

The assailant entered the restaurant and pointed the gun at the worker, and then placed the gun to the back of the worker's head, while demanding money. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

Investigators are asking the public to notice the tattoo on the man's right hand.

The robber is described as between 25 to 35 years old and is about 5 feet 10 inches tall. He has a medium build with dark hair and light skin.

Anyone with information is asked to call 88-CRIME, an anonymous tipster hotline.
