NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A suspect is wanted in Queens for robbing a McDonald's after hiding in a bathroom for two hours waiting for the restaurant to close, police said Tuesday.
Just before 11 p.m. on April 19, the suspect walked into a McDonald's on Hillside Avenue.
After hiding in the bathroom for the next two hours, the suspect is seen on surveillance video around 1 a.m. wearing a ski mask and waving a semi-automatic handgun, police said.

The suspect has long hair and was also wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and blue pants.
