NBC News reports:

The frightening incident happened on Friday late week, inside a Rite Aid, at 7401 Ogontz Ave., at 11:57 a.m. when the man walked in was “initially acting as if to make a purchase,” police said in a statement and video posted to YouTube.

The man, wearing a gray zip-up hoodie over a baseball cap, then approached the cash register and “produced a demand note, handing it to the employee which read in part, ‘Give me all the money. I’m sorry, I have a sick child. You have 15 seconds,’ ” according to police.
