UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — A man looking for a midnight snack in a neighborhood McDonald's found himself at the end of a gun barrel early Monday morning, police said.

The man, a 28-year-old, was outside of an Upper West Side McDonald's on Broadway between West 104th and 105th streets at around 12:45 a.m. when a pair of strangers approached him, officials said.

One of the two men pulled out a gun, police said, and grabbed the victim's wallet and cell phone.
