One man is behind bars and another is still on the run following an armed robbery at a McDonald's.

It happened Tuesday night at a restaurant in Dunwoody and police think the men could be connected to a second fast food robbery.

The so-called 'Burger Bandits' hit again only this time one of them didn't get away.

For the second time in two nights a Dunwoody fast-food restaurant was targeted by armed gunmen.

Police said Tuesday night around 10:30, two men wearing ski masks entered a McDonald's near the Chamblee-Dunwoody-Interstate 285 exit.

Police said the suspects grabbed the manager and demanded money.

Luckily a pair of officers just happened to be eating across the street and quickly swept into action.

The gunmen apparently saw the officers and bolted out the back door.

This set off a short foot chase during which the suspects jumped a fence and ran across 285.

One suspect was apprehended.

A night earlier robbers hit a nearby Dunwoody Burger King. Police are now trying to link the crimes.

Police said no one was injured in the robbery attempt.
