A MAN IS due to appear in court tomorrow morning following the robbery of a McDonald’s yesterday evening.

Yesterday evening at about 7.30pm a man entered the McDonald’s on the Lower Rathmines Road.

He approached a female cashier and threatened her with a knife. The man took a sum of money from the tills and left the premises.

He left the scene in a taxi and later got out at the Milltown Road. The cashier was uninjured.

A number of garda units responded to the robbery and the man was found attempting to cross the Dodder river.
