PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Police are searching for a suspect who was caught on tape erupting into a violent rampage inside a Philadelphia pizza store.

The incident happened at about 10 p.m. on Valentine's Day at the Little Caesars in the 1100 block of West Girard Avenue.

Surveillance cameras were rolling as the suspect entered the store and approached the counter.

The suspect then began to speak to an employee behind the counter in an aggressive manner. While speaking with the employee, the suspect, out of nowhere, threw a roundhouse punch that narrowly missed the employee's face.

At this point is when the suspect went on his violent rampage. The suspect then threw a receipt printer at the employee. The suspect then tried to punch the employee again and pull him over the counter.

During the ordeal, two females entered the store and attempted to pull the suspect out of the store without much success.

The suspect then ripped out an ordering computer from the counter and launched it at the employee. He then pushed over a warming oven that contained food.

After screaming at the employee and throwing menus all over the store, the suspect finally left with the assistance of the two females.

The suspect fled in a black four-door car.

The suspect is described as a black male, 25 years-of-age, with long braids and a beard with a mustache. He was wearing a gray Nike hooded sweatshirt and dark-colored pants.

Anyone with information is urged to call 911.
