Columbus Police are on the lookout for a man after a North Side restaurant employee was injured with a machete.

According to the Columbus Division of Police’s Facebook page, officers were dispatched to Kickin Chicken Mobile–a restaurant located at 5413 Sinclair Rd.—to treat an employee with knife wounds to their left hand.

The employee told police that, after an argument broke out between them and a man within the store, the man, who police are attempting to identify, briefly left the restaurant. He returned less than a minute later wielding two machetes, one in each hand.
