An armed robber was busted by police Sunday morning shortly after allegedly stealing food from a delivery worker outside of a Midtown McDonald’s, sources said.
Trevon Blunt, 25, stuck up the food delivery worker in front of the fast food joint located on 8th Avenue near West 44th Street at about 9 a.m., according to law enforcement sources.
Blunt, who lives at a Brooklyn homeless shelter, barked “that’s my delivery” before flashing a black handgun inside his jacket, sources said.
The delivery worker told Blunt the order was not his, but handed over the food after seeing the firearm, according to sources.
Blunt fled with the grub eastbound on West 44th Street and the victim followed.
During the chase, the victim alerted police who joined in and caught Blunt inside the 42nd Street-Bryant Park station, according to sources.
Police say they recovered a loaded .380 caliber Ruger pistol from Blunt’s jacket, sources said.
Blunt was charged with weapons possession, robbery, menacing and criminal possession of stolen property.
