A man who tried to rob the Royal Inn in South San Francisco Friday night fled on foot after being told that police were on their way, according to police.

At about 9:45 p.m., the man entered the inn on the 100 block of Hickey Boulevard, spoke with the owners and demanded money from the register. While making the demand, the man simulated a weapon in the pocket of his sweatshirt but one was not seen. He fled toward Camaritas Avenue. He is described as white, in his later 20s, clean shaven, with brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up and black pants, according to police.
